A significant winter storm is expected to impact the entire Commonwealth this weekend. The storm starts as snow for everyone, arriving in the western part of the state Saturday afternoon, progressing eastward into later Saturday evening. It is expected to last through Monday morning.
Stay off the roads during and after the storm as much as possible and only drive when absolutely necessary. Virginia State Police continue to monitor the storm and prepare for potential impacts to the Commonwealth. Storm impacts will likely delay emergency response to stranded motorists.
