LYNCHBURG, Va. (WSET) — Sunday starts off quiet enough; however, after about 2 or 3 PM we should start to see the first round of winter weather in Central and Southside Virginia.
SEE ALSO: Winter Storm arriving late Sunday in Virginia
Earlier to the west, a little later to the east. Probably around 4-5 PM, everyone should have seen something of winter weather. A round of snow will continue as we head through the evening.
Travel will become quite tricky as we head deeper and deeper into the day on Sunday. I would get anywhere I needed to be by about 3 PM – after that point, the roads could really start to get problematic.
Temperatures will be in the upper 30s and lower 40s. Colder to the north warmer to the south. Snow should continue until around midnight on Sunday and this should be all snow for the entire area, with the possible exception would be those of us along the VA/NC border.
Overnight on Sunday night things may temporarily tone down before the next round will move in.
This time temperatures will be warming up a touch and then we will start to bring back the chance of icing mixed in with the snow, especially in areas south of Highway 60.
Therefore, overnight Sunday and into Monday morning watch for a mixture of sleet, snow, and freezing rain along Highway 460 and most of the NRV. Still a mostly rain event during this stretch for areas right along the VA/NC border, and still a mostly snow event along and north of Highway 60.
Monday we do start to dry out especially by Monday afternoon, we may get one final round of winter weather (probably all snow) Monday night but that shouldn’t cause much additional accumulations.
Tuesday it’s cold – but the sunshine returns and that stays for the rest of the week.
