RICHMOND, Va. -- A strong storm system will move through Sunday into Sunday night, and exit just before daybreak Monday.
Rain with embedded thunderstorms will last into the evening.
Rain will be widespread and heavy during the evening through midnight.
The areas not covered by the tornado watch have a marginal risk of severe weather.
Computer model rainfall has ranged anywhere from around an inch to over four inches. Most areas will likely see 1.5 to 2.5 inches, but localized higher totals will occur, and minor poor-drainage flooding is possible.
Rain will change to snow in the mountains by Sunday night. Minor accumulations are possible in the lower elevations, but multiple inches will occur in the highest elevations, where winter storm warnings are in effect.
Rain will exit before daybreak Monday. The rain may mix with or change to snow for a brief period. With the warm ground, any accumulations will be limited to where a prolonged burst of heavier snow showers occur. The best chance of this is well north and northwest of Richmond, where a grassy coating or light accumulation is possible.
Skies will clear quickly, with temperatures in the 30s.
Monday will be mostly sunny and breezy with highs 45-50. The winds will make it feel a bit colder.
It will be quite cold Monday night into Tuesday morning, with lows in the 20s. Some teens are possible in a few spots.
The rest of the week will be dry and seasonably cool. Lows will stay in the 20s, and highs will be in the 40s to mid 50s.
