A winter storm is expected to affect Virginia on Wednesday, February 19, and Thursday, February 20, prompting a Weather Authority Alert Day.

This weather pattern poses a risk of hazardous travel conditions across the region.

Meteorologists will continue to monitor the storm’s progression and will provide updated forecasts regarding expected snowfall amounts as the situation evolves in the coming days.

In summary, a significant winter storm is forecasted to impact Virginia, beginning Wednesday morning and continuing into Thursday.
