In addition to the more seasonable weather, we’ll be dry with a mix of sun and clouds overhead.
Winter weather alerts have been posted ahead of our next storm system. The advisories and warning will go into effect starting at 8 p.m. this evening.
Areas in purple on the map below are under a winter weather advisory. There is also a winter storm warning in Grayson County.
We believe precipitation will begin after midnight and slowly lift north through daybreak.
Areas west of the Blue Ridge Parkway have the best chance to see a mix of sleet and/or freezing rain early in the day.
The afternoon and evening look interesting for snow lovers as colder air allows for some flakes to fall. Areas east of the Parkway are mainly looking at a chilly rain during this timeframe.
If you’re traveling for any Super Bowl parties Sunday, give yourself extra time on the roads as they could be wet or icy depending on your zone.
All of the precipitation is expected to move out to east Sunday night and we’ll be dry to start the work week.
Any snow or sleet accumulation will be quick to melt as temperatures bounce back quickly. Highs in the 50s are likely Monday and Valentine’s Day.
Temperatures are likely to go even warmer later in the week. We could throw another round of showers in the mix by Thursday and/or Friday.
