A strong area of low pressure is located over central Virginia this afternoon, and has resulted in a wide range of temperatures across the area. The warm front was draped across southeast Virginia, with temperatures in the mid 60s as far north as the airport (RIC). Looking at a few of our Skytracker cameras at 3 PM, the temperature was 50 in Ashland, 53 at the WTVR studios, and 64 in Petersburg. Wind and winter weather advisories have just been issued for the southwest and western sections of Virginia. The change from very low pressure in central Virginia, to relatively high pressure to our west, will create strong winds across central Virginia tonight. The current surface pressure of 29.19" is the lowest pressure reading I have seen in many years.
