RICHMOND, Va. -- Tonight will be variably cloudy and seasonably cold with lows in the upper 20s and low 30s.
An upper-level disturbance will bring a brief period of light rain to the area Saturday morning. The rain could mix with wet snow at times, but no accumulation in and around Richmond is expected. A coating of snow is possible across the western Piedmont Saturday morning. Skies will quickly clear, with mostly sunny conditions Saturday afternoon. Temperatures will reach the upper 40s and low 50s.
The main upper-level trough an associated cold front will move through the area Sunday. The precipitation will likely begin as rain, with a changeover to snow possible.

Totals of 1-2" of snow will be possible over parts of the eastern Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula if low pressure develops off the Mid-Atlantic coast.
