StormTracker8:  Another Weekend Winter Storm; Watches in Place

Richmond, Va. (WRIC) -- We have the latest on this weekend's snowstorm. Snowfall totals are coming clearer. A winter storm watch is in place for most of our area.

Snow will begin late Friday night for some of us, and early Saturday morning we will experience heavier, more widespread snow. Snow is expected all day Saturday and will wrap up early Sunday morning. The best place to see significant snowfall will be in southeastern Virginia. We are still expecting considerable amounts for the metro area and most of Central VA. The farther north you go, the lower totals you are likely to see.

As roads are still dangerous and remain uncleared for many secondary and residential areas, the message will continue to be to stay home unless necessary to go out.

Today, skies will be mostly sunny with highs near 30°. Tonight we will again be in the low teens or upper single digits.

Tomorrow we could be slightly cooler, in the mid 20s, as cloud cover takes over ahead of the winter storm.

After the winter storm, we will experience a brief warming period through the middle of the week, where highs will near a whopping 40°.
