Drivers should plan travel around storms and use extreme caution
RICHMOND, Va. – Another storm, the third in less than one week, is expected to impact Virginia Friday evening into Saturday morning and the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) is reminding travelers to tune into local forecasts and make plans to adjust travel based on weather conditions.
With the ground already saturated across the commonwealth from recent weather events, additional rain and heavy winds could cause flooding and downed trees. In some areas roads may be impassable and drivers should use extreme caution on roads.
VDOT crews will be monitoring roadways and treating conditions as they develop, which includes:
