The map above shows areas under a Winter Storm Warning in pink and those under a Winter Weather Advisory in purple.
Snow will develop across the region this morning, around 8-9AM in the Metro Richmond area (earlier to the west and later to the east). Significant accumulations are likely by afternoon, when the snow will begin to mix with sleet at times (around 2-3PM). More mixing will occur south of I-64. I expect a general 3-5 inch snowfall most of central Virginia, with 2-4 inches in Charlottesville and Fredericksburg.
Cities under a Winter Storm Warning include: Richmond, Petersburg, Colonial Heights, Wakefield, Williamsburg, Emporia and Farmville. Places under a Winter Weather Advisory include Charlottesville, Fredericksburg, Harrisonburg, Washington, DC and Hampton Roads.
The wintry precipitation will taper off during the evening and skies will be partly sunny on Friday, although it will still be quite cold with the snow cover in place. The next system we're watching for the weekend should scoot by to our southeast Saturday and Saturday night, with the greatest precipitation chances coming over extreme southeast Virginia.
