UPDATED: NWS Issues Winter Weather Advisory for Monday

Updated: Jan. 25, 1 p.m. The Virginia Department of Transportation will mobilize crews by midnight tonight and treat roads as accumulation develops. "Anti-icing will not take place on most Virginia roadways due to rain occurring prior to snowfall," a VDOT official said. VDOT is warning motorists to plan for winter weather road conditions and use caution Monday morning. "If travel is necessary, allow extra time to reach destinations, lower speed and keep a safe distance from other vehicles," they said. "As drivers encounter slow-moving equipment such as snowplows, slow down and allow operators the right of way." Original Post: The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory from 2 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday for Prince William County.

"Roads will be snow covered and slippery with visibilities being reduced to near one-quarter mile at times," the weather service said. "The combination of snow covered roads and low visibility will make traveling dangerous." NWS forecasts 1-2 inches of snow in the area; however, local forecasters are calling for 2-4 inches. Snow will continue Monday night into Tuesday with additional accumulation possible. Prince William County Schools has announced a contingency plan for the teacher workday scheduled for Monday.
