The winter weather advisory the National Weather Service issued Saturday for the Historic Triangle through 1 a.m. Monday has been cancelled.
The high Sunday is forecast near 39 degrees, with 100 percent chance of rain – new precipitation amounts between 1 and 2 inches possible.
But the area is not out of the woods yet.
Sunday night calls for rain and sleet likely before 10, then snow later, the NWS said. Chance of precipitation is 60 percent – new snow and sleet accumulation less than a half inch.
Expect slippery roads and limited visibility, and use caution while driving.
VDOT crews have pre-treated interstates and primary roadways in affected areas, according to VDOT.
Crews first focus efforts on roads that carry the most traffic, such as interstates and primary roads, followed by major secondary roads with vital emergency and public facilities, and other secondary roads and subdivision streets, VDOT said.
