Snow from a February '25 storm in Charlottesville

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA (CVILLE RIGHT NOW) – The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for the Charlottesville and Albemarle County area Friday from 1 a.m. until 4 p.m.

Mixed precipitation is expected with total snow accumulations according to the weather service 1-to-2 inches, and Accuweather forecasting 1-to-3, and ice accumulations around a light glaze.

Forecasters urge planning on slippery road conditions as the hazardous conditions could impact the Friday morning commute.

A light snow will overspread the advisory area, with slightly higher amounts possible in any banding features.

As snow winds down toward early afternoon, a light freezing drizzle is possible into Friday evening.
