RICHMOND, Va. -- Clouds will increase and thicken tonight. Lows will be in the 30s.
Precipitation will move in around daybreak Saturday. This may start as a mix of snow and sleet, and then transition to a brief period of freezing rain. The best chance for that will be north of I-64. As temperatures warm slightly, the precipitation will become plain rain in the metro and southeast. We may hang onto some sleet and freezing rain across northern/northwestern Virginia through the early afternoon. Highs will be in the mid to upper 30s, with some of the warmest temperatures occurring in the evening.
A winter weather advisory is in effect for northwestern Virginia. Some snow, sleet, and ice accumulations there will cause slick travel conditions.
The advisory also includes some counties west and northwest of Richmond (Louisa, Goochland, Cumberland, Fluvanna, Buckingham). Icy spots will be possible there.
There could be a few slick spots in Richmond over into the Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula.
Highs warm back into the upper 50s and lower 60s on Sunday with partly cloudy skies.
Monday will be colder. A system passing to our south could cause some flakes, mostly in far southern Virginia. Highs will be in the upper 30s and lower 40s.
A bigger storm will impact the region Tuesday. This will likely start as snow in the morning, and then change to a mix or some sleet.
It will change over to all rain in the metro in the afternoon, but mixed precipitation could linger well north and northwest of Richmond into the afternoon. Highs will be in the low to mid 30s. There will be the potential for some snow accumulation. This will likely get eliminated later Tuesday in the metro as the rain and warmer temps wash the snow away.
Showers are expected on Wednesday, but there could be a mix in western Virginia. Highs will be around 40.
Rain is likely on Thursday with highs in the upper 40s and lower 50s.
We will dry out on Friday.
