Wakefield, VA – The National Weather Service in Wakefield reports that the ongoing winter storm will continue through tonight before tapering off by Sunday morning. Updated guidance shows decreased snowfall totals across central Virginia and the Lower Maryland Eastern Shore, while southeastern Virginia and northeastern North Carolina remain the focus for heavier snow.
According to the NWS, portions of northeast North Carolina and far southeast Virginia could still see 4 to 8 inches of snow, with locally higher totals possible. Areas farther north may see 1 to 2 inches within the Winter Weather Advisory zone, while central regions could receive less than an inch.
The heaviest snowfall and strongest winds are expected Saturday night into early Sunday morning, leading to hazardous travel. The NWS warns of slippery roads, low visibility, and blowing snow, especially along the North Carolina coast where gusty winds may cause drifting snow and reduced confidence in safe travel conditions.
Residents are urged to limit travel where possible and prepare for potential disruptions due to icy road conditions.
