RICHMOND, Va. -- Any rain showers will switch to snow showers this evening, and snow will continue overnight.
Most of our area is under a winter weather advisory for 1-3" of snow. There may be a few spots close to the North Carolina border near I-85 & I-95 that get just under one inch.
The Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula are under a winter storm warning and will see at least 3 inches of snow, but there is the potential for 6 or more inches, especially right along the coast. Outside of our viewing area, a blizzard warning is in effect for the Eastern Shore. Accumulations of 6-9"+ are expected there.
Snow will taper off by mid-morning in central VA, and late morning or midday in eastern VA. Winds will increase Saturday morning with some gusts over 30 mph possible in central VA, and over 40 mph at the coast. This could result in some power outages. Clouds will decrease in the afternoon. Highs will be in the low to mid 30s, but the winds will add a biting wind chill.
Lows Saturday night will be in the single digits and teens. Sunday will be partly to mostly sunny with highs in the 30s.
Temperatures will moderate next week. Highs will be in the 40s Monday, around 50 Tuesday, in the mid to upper 50s Wednesday, and the upper 50s and lower 60s on Thursday. Rain showers will move through with a cold front on Thursday, with colder temperatures returning Friday into next weekend.
