RICHMOND, Va. -- Skies will be cloudy tonight and a lingering sprinkle is possible. Temperatures will hover in the 30s and rise a bit after midnight.
Sunday will offer partly sunny skies and it will be warmer again, with afternoon highs in the mid 50s to around 60. It won't last long though, as colder air will filter back into the region by Monday morning. A system passing to our south may trigger a few rain or snow showers early Monday near the North Carolina line, otherwise we'll have variably to mostly cloudy skies with highs in the low to mid 40s.
A significant winter storm will impact the region Tuesday. Snow will develop during the morning, changing to a wintry mix from the metro south during the afternoon. It could change to all rain south of Richmond later on, depending on how much milder air can return from the south. There is the potential for significant snow accumulation across much of the area. Regardless, this will be a high impact event that will cause travel issues, so be aware and alert to the latest forecast.
