center in or three points in newport news. right now virginia is under a state of emergency in our coverage of the governor's declaration is coming up but as far as the night is concerned jeff how's it looking and it's looking fine and has to be cold don't get me wrong but it's been cold a lot lately the tricky part the forecast starts tomorrow and let a lot more on that as you can see it's nice and clear out there it'll stay that way to the evening during the overnight will start to see an increase in the clouds let's take a look at the rest of the forecast and as we go through that your going to notice there's nothing on radar here but we're already starting to see a little bit of moisture way down there by raleigh that's the very very front leading edge of this thing moving towards but for this evening when the mid thirties were going to drop back pretty quickly into the upper twenties and then not go a whole lot below that we're going to soar to stay in the mid to upper twenties here throughout the evening and even most of the overnight as well let me show you snow amounts these are just through the end of rush hour tomorrow

friday at seven is because by then most of our area will have changed over from either snow or a mix over to jess primarily rain at that point so again these are the numbers just three seven it'll never change from richmond westward maybe even a little bit east of richmond so these are just through seven o'clock three to six inches in richmond if you're heading up that way one to three for much of our peninsula areas and then a trace to two inches possibly from some leaning toward the lower end of that but certainly two inches is not out of the question and then again we change to rain. how much to get on the backside how much they get up north without any kind of a changeover will have all that information coming up in just a little while. i think stuff i write now virginia is under a state of emergency and that gives state agencies more flexibility to respond to severe weather issues the governor came to norfolk after declaring this emergency christina's for j

the weekend again nothing out there right now so take a look at what we can expect as we go through the evening i noticed that the first thing we see is that temperatures out there are again going to stay cold we have the clear skies out there right now as we look at that shot over amped than thirty degree temperatures what we're expecting by evening under clear skies upper twenties though for the inland areas and then it won't drop a whole lot after that. here are the basics of this storm however it will be a crippling storm for central western and northern virginia strong winds high tides and heavy rain for most of us but with snow as well two periods of snow one at the beginning and then won again at the end that was not as definite but it looks like a very good chance to make a high temperature today is thirty six degrees officially in norfolk thirty eight virginia beach nc forty three though in williamsburg the only spot in the forties there at my quick glance anyway as you

keeps us cold tonight keeps everything either offshore or still out of the picture well to our south and west but here comes the moisture will see the clouds rapidly thickening during the day tomorrow and look at these temperatures with them in the twenties you know that it has to be frozen precipitation that is moving toward us but it's going to be warming up in the upper loves the atmosphere fairly quickly on in the afternoon so it's a timing issue but it looks like we will have some winter weather around here sono little bit of sleep maybe and then turning over later in the day to some rain at least here on the south side it'll take a little bit longer to turn over to rain on the peninsula and we're going to talk more in a few minutes about how much you might see and then rain for most of our area during the evening tomorrow and on in the overnight the rain snow line will probably be a little easter this bill will

to wakefield or west point very heavy snow amounts west of that lesser amounts here in the east will have a bit of a break at times on saturday with some showers not have your steady rain but showers and then the temperatures will plummet and saturday. later in the day on saturday night will see a changeover back to snow and that's what's going to give us our best chance of accumulating snow again here in the seven cities meanwhile for tonight twenty seven low to mid twenties are probably the al it's a low to mid twenties for the inland areas partly cloudy skies late then the rest of the forecast it's a messy one mix to rain tomorrow rain heavy at times friday night except for far northern areas would stay some sleet or snow and then rain showers on saturday changing to a study or snow from north to south temperatures falling from forty five in the morning to thirty three in the afternoon sunday some light snow in the morning and then things finally improved toward
