High pressure will bring sunshine to the Shenandoah Valley today. An area of low pressure will develop over the Carolinas and move north, bringing moisture to the Mid Atlantic area by late tonight into Tuesday. Temperatures will be cold enough for that moisture to be of the frozen variety, at least to start. Freezing rain is expected for most of the Shenandoah Valley and Central Virginia with snow further north over western Maryland and rain east of Richmond. Temperatures should climb above freezing during the day Tuesday, changing everything to rain before ending. Dry weather returns for Wednesday through Friday.
