A Freezing Rain Advisory is in effect until 9 a.m. for the following areas: Franklin, Greensville Co., Hertford Co., Isle of Wight Co., Middlesex Co., Northampton (NC) Co., Southampton Co., Surry Co., Sussex Co., and Williamsburg-James City Co. A trace of ice accumulation is possible in these areas.
As we move through our early Saturday morning, all eyes will be on a cold front that will impact our weather. Any sleet or freezing rain that developed will transition into rain as our temperatures warm up through the morning into the afternoon. A trace of ice accumulation is possible for a few communities before above freezing temperatures move in. Still, through the early morning, be careful especially around bridges and overpasses. Otherwise, expect more clouds than sun with a few scattered showers into the early afternoon. Highs will warm into the low 60s. It will be windy today, with winds from the southwest between 15 and 25 mph, with gusts to 30. Tonight, expect partly to mostly cloudy with warming temperatures.
On Sunday, the front will slow down across the area, giving way to scattered showers, especially by the afternoon. Otherwise, expect partly to mostly cloudy skies. High temperatures will climb into the lower 70s!

We’re expecting highs int he mid 40s Monday. A wintry mix is also possible early Tuesday morning for parts of the viewing area. Highs will be in the 50s by Tuesday afternoon.
