Another fast moving clipper combined with a low-pressure system developing in the lower plains/Tennessee Valley will give the Richmond area a chance of sleet/rain mix this evening into early Saturday morning. The local meteorologists have hinted at this possible scenario for about two days now and have kept it in the forecast.

No accumulating snow is expected at this point. It looks like you will have to go as far north as Maryland (maybe DC/NOVA) to see any appreciable accumulation of snow or ice.

 

 

 

 

 

Normally this type of event would not be worth commenting on. However, Richmond has not seen any accumulating snow as of today (1/20/2012) or in any of the previous months of this winter season. Therefore, there is a little excitement in the air to have the possibility of even a small wintry event tonight into tomorrow morning.

 

NBC12 has also hinted at a small chance of freezing rain tomorrow night (1/21 to 1/22) as another round of precipitation rolls in.
