STERLING VA: (Rocktown Now) –The National Weather Service reports that a Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until 5 p.m. EST today for Albemarle, Nelson, Augusta, and Rockingham counties, including the Central Virginia Blue Ridge. Greene County and areas as far north as New Market to Culpeper may also experience slippery travel conditions.

What to Expect:
Snowfall totals are forecast between 1 and 4 inches, with locally higher amounts possible along the ridges. Light snow is already creating slick spots on roads and walkways.

Motorists should plan for slippery roads, particularly during the Monday evening commute. Untreated surfaces and bridges may become hazardous as temperatures hover near freezing.

Safety Tips:
Slow down and allow extra time for travel.

Use caution on stairs, sidewalks, and driveways, which may be icy and increase the risk of falls.
Stay alert for changing conditions throughout the afternoon.

Residents are encouraged to monitor local forecasts and take precautions if traveling or heading outdoors.
