Rain Totals

On average, metro Richmond and surrounding areas received 1 to 2" of rainfall. Totals were less farther south (roughly .5") near Petersburg and Emporia.

A Flood Warning is in effect for the Appomattox River at Mattoax until Monday night. The river level should drop below flood stage during that time.

Morning Weather Update

Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect for the western third of the state where temperatures are hovering at or below freezing. At 6 AM, there were reports of freezing rain (rain that freezes once it hits the ground) in Charlottesville and Lynchburg. Temperatures will eventually rise above freezing around 10 AM and the advisory will be lifted.

A wintry mix of rain and sleet (ice pellets) was reported in Tappahannock, Orange and Louisa. Although a few ice pellets will still be possible along and north of I-64, it shouldn't be a major concern because temperatures will remain above freezing.

Wintry Mix Reported In Danville

A small batch of rain and sleet just moved through the Danville area. This is moving to the ENE and will clip Richmond/Petersburg in the next hour or two. Luckily temperatures are holding steady and even starting to rise, so there shouldn't be any major problems on the roads. Regardless, if you are out driving late tonight, be extra alert because there still could be isolated slick spots.
