Friday Forecast: Light Snow Expected on First Alert Weather Day

Richmond, Virginia, is bracing for light snow on Friday, marking it as a significant weather day across the region. The potential for snowfall starts as soon as the morning commute and could affect travel conditions.

Snow Forecast for Friday

The trend from recent weather models indicates that light snow will likely move into Central Virginia in the morning. Both the European model and the American (GFS) model are in agreement, predicting snowfall.

Weather Transition

As the day progresses, there may be a transition from light snow to a wintry mix or even light rain in the afternoon. This shift is expected to occur predominantly in areas from Richmond and extending south and east.

Potential Accumulations

Light accumulations of snow are possible, with estimates suggesting around one inch. However, daytime accumulation can be challenging unless temperatures dip into the 20s or heavy precipitation occurs. Currently, neither condition seems to be likely.

Monitoring Conditions

Weather officials will continue to monitor this developing situation closely. While conditions can change rapidly, Friday is expected to be critical for weather updates and public awareness.
