Freeze Warning West of I-95


A Freeze Warning is in effect overnight west of I-95 from 4 A.M. until 9 A.M. As winds diminish, the temperatures will tumble below the freezing mark in these counties: Goochland, Powhatan, Louisa, Amelia, Fluvanna, Cumberland, Nottoway, Prince Edward, Buckingham...and points south and west. Freeze conditions will likely kill crops and other sensitive vegetation.

Moderation on the way...

Temperatures are still expected to rise later this week, into the mid 60s on Friday and probably 70+ on Saturday. In fact, it looks like a great day to start the weekend. The next cold front will slide through the state Saturday night. It basically looks like a dry frontal passage, although I can't rule out an isolated shower or two.

Not as cold behind this next front...

Temperatures behind the next front will average near 60 during the afternoon and in the upper 30s and lower 40s at night. Don't forget that early Sunday morning (at 2 A.M.), we turn our clocks back as we return to Eastern Standard Time.

Election Day looks dry as of now...

Tuesday still looks dry as a ridge of high pressure dominates. This will keep temperatures at or above seasonal averages. The next shot of cold air is still on schedule to arrive next weekend (November 9-10).
