RICHMOND, Va. -- It will be clear this evening, with clouds increasing overnight. Lows will be in the upper 20s and lower 30s.
A batch of showers will track through the region Saturday morning through around noon. This may start as a mix out near I-81. Clouds will break for some sun in the afternoon. Highs will be in the upper 40s and lower 50s.
Another system will spread some showers back into the area Sunday morning. As colder air mixes in during the day, rain will will mix with some snow, and then changeover to all snow. The change to snow will occur in the morning for areas well north west of Richmond, and may not occur until almost evening for areas well southeast of Richmond. Highs will range from the mid 30s northwest to the mid 40s far southeast.
Snowfall accumulations will be minimal or zero southeast of Richmond. Parts of the metro could see a coating to one inch. Areas north and northwest of Richmond could see an inch or two of snow, with a few isolated spots picking up three inches. Far northwestern Virginia could see in excess of three inches of snow, where a winter storm watch is in effect.
Monday will be sunny, breezy and cold with highs 25-30. Lows Monday night will be in the single digits to mid-teens. Some of our coldest outlying areas could drop to around zero.
Another storm could brush the area with some snow Tuesday evening into early Wednesday morning. As of now, the best chance for accumulation appears to be southeast of Richmond. The computer models still vary on the track of this system, and we will update this part of the forecast more over the next few days.
Very cold air will last into Thursday morning. Some "warmer" air will move in at the end of the week. Another storm could affect us late Friday into Saturday.
