Warren County, VA – Northwest Virginia is under a Winter Weather Advisory as freezing rain creates icy conditions on Christmas Eve morning.
The advisory will remain in effect until 1 p.m. Tuesday. Light ice accumulations are expected to make roads, bridges, and overpasses slippery, especially along US-340 and secondary routes in Frederick, Warren, and Clarke counties.
Drivers should take extra precautions during the morning commute. Untreated surfaces, including sidewalks and driveways, are likely to become hazardous. Road conditions are expected to improve by early afternoon as temperatures rise above freezing, transitioning the wintry mix to rain.
For the holiday, conditions will improve significantly, with a mild Christmas Day forecast featuring highs in the 40s and partly sunny skies. Travelers can check Virginia’s 511 system for the latest road updates.
