Central Virginia Blue Ridge Area
Before a big warmup, and I mean big, we are dealing with one more shot of wintry type weather early Monday. Various winter weather advisories and bulletins were issued for a large part the area. But have since expired or were canceled for most counties by mid-morning Monday. Generally speaking it’s the counties just to the east of the BRP and then many counties along and west of there and Skyline Drive.
Nelson County Schools where we are based are closed on Monday January 28 as are those in Buckingham and Fluvanna County Public Schools. Many other area schools are on a 2 hour delay. Our media partner CBS-19 has a complete list here.
A mix of freezing rain began falling in the wee morning hours before sunrise Monday and may continue until midmorning when temps will allow the frozen precip to change over to rain as temps rise into the 40’s.
A major warmup moves in Tuesday with temps in the mid 60’s for vallies and around 50-55° in the mountains.
More rain is expected by Wednesday.
