Updated Potential Snow Totals
Based on overnight precipitation, plus anticipated additional snowfall during the day Saturday, I have upped our expected snowfall totals for the northwest half of Virginia. The southeast remains unchanged because it has rained overnight, and snow will not occur there until late morning.
Here is a movie of the Nor'easter's expected track:

Updated Warning Map
A Blizzard Warning has been issued for parts of Maryland, and I expect strong gusty winds in Central Virginia as well, especially Saturday while the low intensifies and tracks along our coastline. Winds will gust to 35-40 mph at times in Central Virginia, which will reduce visibilities in blowing snow.
