A Winter Storm Watch is in effect for much of central Virginia through tomorrow evening. Low pressure over the Plains will move into the Tennessee Valley tomorrow morning. This will spread a swath of snow across the Commonwealth, which will continue through the afternoon...mixing with sleet at times. Significant accumulations are likely and the afternoon commute will be very tricky.
Expect snow to develop sometime after 8AM in the Metro Richmond area. It will quickly pick up and continue into the afternoon. Sleet may mix in at times during the afternoon, particularly after 2PM. More mixing will occur south of I-64. I expect a general 3-5 inch snowfall across the entire area, with the potential for a few 6-inch totals where sleet doesn't occur. The Charlottesville and Fredericksburg areas should anticipate an accumluation of 2-4 inches.
The wintry precipitation should taper off during the evening and skies should be partly sunny on Friday. Another potential system off the Southeast coast could give us a glancing blow Saturday and Saturday night, with the highest probability for precipitation coming over southeast Virginia/Hampton Roads. Stay tuned for any possible changes to the forecast over the weekend...
