Teens Wednesday Morning, But Warming Trend Into Friday

Temperatures have fallen into the teens in nearly all of Central Virginia Wednesday morning, with cold and dry air in place. Skies cleared overnight as the snowstorm to our south exited into the Atlantic, and winds weakened as well, which allowed for excellent overnight cooling conditions. Cold air has invaded much of the Deep South as well, with temperatures this morning in the 20's as far South as North Florida. Southern parts of Virginia had up to 2" of snow Tuesday, with up to 7" of snow in North Carolina. Roads are hazardous Wednesday morning in North Carolina, as slush from snow yesterday froze overnight into black ice on many roadways. Use caution if you must travel into North Carolina this morning. Some secondary roads in Southern Virginia are also experiencing black ice this morning where light snow fell Tuesday.

Temperatures will gradually warm through the rest of this week, reaching highs in the low 50's by Friday. Colder air will return by the beginning of next week, with chances for precipitation in the state increasing into mid-week.

A Clear and Cold Night Ahead

At 3 PM Tuesday afternoon, only a few light snow showers remained across far southeast Virginia. Skies will gradually clear from west to east this afternoon and evening, setting central Virginia up for a cold night. Temperatures will fall into the teens area wide by Wednesday morning. Another round of winter weather will be possible this weekend, and I'll have the details tonight on CBS 6 at 5, 5:30, 6 and 11.

Snow Pictures from South-Central VA

CBS 6 Senior Reporter Wayne Covil captured these pictures as he explored South-central Virginia Tuesday morning, looking for which cities were snow-covered and where snow may have been causing trouble on the roads. Wayne reported safe travel on roads, which had been treated before the snow began falling overnight. The farthest North along I-95 that Wayne found snow-dusted ground was six miles North of Stony Creek.
