RICHMOND, Va. — Flood warnings are in effect for the James, Nottoway, Meherrin and Appomattox rivers. More information on current levels, flood stages, and forecast stages can be found here.

Tuesday will be partly sunny with highs in the mid 40s. Then we continue to monitor a potential major winter storm for Wednesday into early Thursday.
"As we get into Wednesday morning, we could have a few flurries early on, but really, the snow doesn't set in until around lunchtime," Zach Daniel said Monday evening. "The bulk of the snow stays south and east of Richmond. It's going to be a big one for Hampton Roads. Then we'll get the upper level low coming through to bring us a bit more snow. This is the forecast as of [Monday] afternoon. I've got us in the 3" to 6" range here in Richmond. Six inches to 9" to the south and east, including Petersburg. And then 9" to 12" down in Hampton Roads.

Skies will clear out Thursday afternoon, and dry, cold weather is expected into next weekend.
