"El Niño Drives Wintry Mix: Snow, Sleet, and Rain to Impact Weekend Across Regions"

Virginia is bracing for a winter storm this weekend, with snow expected in the mountains and a mix of sleet and rain elsewhere. The storm will start at or before sunrise on Saturday and end between 6 p.m. and midnight. Snow accumulations will be minimal in areas like Lynchburg, with a possible 0" to 2", and higher amounts in the mountains and northern regions. Roads may become slippery, and while some areas may see brief snowfall, it is likely to melt quickly due to rain. The weather team at WSET will provide official measurements on Saturday morning.
