The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for southwest Virginia and southeast West Virginia, warning of up to 1 inch of snow and sleet, along with around 0.10 inch of ice accumulation that could glaze bridges and overpasses, especially along I-64 near Covington, U.S. 460 in Pearisburg, and Route 219 through Lewisburg and Union. Road crews are preparing treatment operations, but changing precipitation types could create patchy slick spots through both the morning and evening commutes on Monday.
Why it matters
