Snowfall Forecast...Sunday Afternoon Update

SEND YOUR SNOW PHOTOS TO mike@mike-goldberg.com!
Metro Richmond: 3-6 inches
Western Henrico/Hanover north to Caroline and west to Charlottesville: 4-8 inches
Louisa/Fredericksburg/Spotsylvania/Stafford: 8+ inches
Tri-Cities: 3-5 inches
Williamsburg: 2-4 inches
Northern Neck: 2-4 inches on the eastern end, 4-7 inches to the west
Farmville: 4-8 inches

The forecast remains on target. North and west of Richmond, mixed precipitation (with more sleet and snow the farther away from the city you go) continues, while from the city south and east it's mainly rain. Heavier precipitation will move into the region this evening and gradually colder air will start to take over. Everyone should see a changeover to snow by later tonight. There remain some concerns regarding accumulation, mainly the prolonged period of rain/sleet this evening (especially east of I-95) and the possibility of drier air wrapping into the system. That being said, this will be the most significant snowfall in many years across the region and we'll be waking up to a good coverage of snow on the ground. Stay tuned and stay safe!
