Virginia Weekend Snowstorm Could Dump Heavy Totals Across the Area

A major weekend winter storm is forecast for the ABC13/WSET area in Virginia, with 5–15 inches of snow likely and 10–15 inches possible 100–200 miles north of the low track; freezing rain is possible south of that band. A Weather Alert Day is in effect as snow begins Saturday night and becomes heavy on Sunday, which is expected to be the worst travel day. Widespread cancellations and closures (airports, schools, outdoor events) are anticipated across Virginia and the Carolinas, with airports potentially closing and many districts likely canceling next week. Snow totals over 4 inches are expected, with higher amounts depending on the storm path.
