RICHMOND, Va. -- Rain will continue overnight with very gusty winds, over 30 mph at times. Some higher gusts to around 45 mph are possible as a cold front move through over the next several hours. Colder air will rush in behind the front, with temperatures dipping quickly into the 40s and then the 30s by daybreak. The rain may change to a brief period of wet snow in many locations, from Richmond north and west. Local flooding is still a possibility through the night. Several hours of snow are likely closer to I-81, where winter storm warnings are in effect for the higher elevations.

Monday will be sunny, breezy and colder with highs in the upper 40s to around 50. Lows at night will drop into the 20s, with teens possible to the northwest.

Dry weather is expected through the end of the week. Overnight lows will remain cold with lows mostly in the 20s, some teens in the normally colder outlying areas. Our next threat for rain appears to be later next weekend.
