    Areas affected...southern Virginia and far northern North Carolina
    Mountains

    Concerning...Winter mixed precipitation=20

    Valid 060744Z - 061245Z

    SUMMARY...Moderate freezing rain is expected to expand across
    southern Virginia and the northern North Carolina mountains early
    this morning.

    DISCUSSION...Temperatures are in the upper 20s to near 30 across
    much of southern Virginia this morning. Some snow is occurring
    across central Virginia where the thermodynamic column remains below
    freezing, but the 0C 700mb isotherm, currently located near or just
    south of Roanoke at 07Z will expand north amid strong warm air
    advection and a strengthening low-level jet. This will result in
    sleet or freezing rain across much of southern Virginia within the
    next few hours. In addition, strong isentropic lift and additional
    upper-level ascent will support moderate precipitation across this
    region for the next 6 hours with significant ice accretion likely
    for much of the period.=20

    Moderating temperatures may limit ice accumulation across far
    southern Virginia with the greatest accumulation from near Roanoke
    to Lynchburg to Lexington where upper 20s temperatures are most
    likely to persist.
