A weak upper storm system will bring enough lift to the region to create extensive cloud cover and areas of light precipitation on Friday. Enough cold air will be in place initially to produce a few sleet pellets and snow flakes mixing with the light rain, especially north of I-64 and west of I-95. The storm system will move quickly to the east Friday night resulting in a dry start to the weekend.

Winds Weakening
Now that the sun is down, winds have become less gusty. This trend will continue into tonight...midnight winds will be 10 to 15 mph, then 5 to 10 mph by tomorrow morning. Highest gust in Richmond was 44 mph recorded earlier this afternoon!
Most of the flurries have also exited the area and we will have mainly clear skies for the rest of tonight.

Isolated Snow Showers In The Area
A few pockets of flurries have been popping up across the area. Temperatures are well above freezing, so this is all melting on impact. The chance for flurries will quickly diminish after sunset.
Here is some video of some snow captured on cell phone by Jamie Buckmaster in Chesterfield. Thanks for sending it in!
