slightly less cold can call this mild really but a few at least upper thirties when she get down into areas of north carolina so we dropped the readings this evening back to the thirties near the coastline back into the twenties across the more rural locations and then temperature source hold steady there so not as cold as last night during the morning clouds on the increase there watching us maybe from way down in places like bertie county might have a little bit of a wintry mix by the morning rush hour but for most of us certainly here across the seven cities we won't have to worry about that and then as we go through the day this snow slash mix moves across the region gradually shifts over later and later in the day and gets heavier and heavier as well to the point whereby the late afternoon we're seeing rain or a mix near the coastline snow or a mix on the peninsula that changes to heavy rain tomorrow night very strong winds gusting over fifty mph rain heavy at times tomorrow during the overnight with a rain snow line getting back in

richmond somewhere that'll be a important thing to figure out whether you're going to get a eight inch snowfall and snowfall in richmond or a twenty inch snowfall depends on exactly where that rain snow line but around here lesser precipitation on saturday but eventually changing over saturday later saturday night and when i think could be an accumulating snow again on the backside so here are the total amount to show you the amount earlier through tomorrow rush hour. now these are the total amounts they include the fact that it will melt let's say we get an inch or two south side then it melts away and then we get another three inches. well yes we would've seen five total but we've never seen that much on the ground is or how much you will see on the ground including melting sleep etc at the most we think one of three across the south side up onto the peninsula three to five five eight including the williamsburg gloucester

of their eight to sixteen inches so lots and lots of sand west of that even attended one. so a ton of snow coming to central and northern virginia as well as western parts of the state system organizing and the south clear early partly cloudy late lower to mid twenties across the inland areas a wintery mix develops them are changing to rain for the metro and the coastline late in the day tomorrow night forty five when be very windy wet gust to fifty mph a mix or some snow though still the farther north and west you go and then the forecast as we look ahead to the seven day outlook on saturday calls for forty five in the morning for the low which is really high because the temperature then drops to thirty three during the afternoon as we change some of this precipitation back to snow and that continues overnight into early sunday so two different rounds of accumulating snow if you want to consider the metro area the beginning of the storm heavy rain and then again at
