Some sleet now, freezing rain very possible later tonight--

I just pulled in from work and a little sleet is falling. Model data has been very slowly trending colder at the lower levels of the atmosphere. The first bouts of sleet will fall as there is a pretty dry layer. As the sleet gives way to more rain, the lower levels of the column will cool and some freezing rain is likely in Lynchburg proper between 9 PM into early tomorrow morning. I can see the temp parking at 32.5 and NO icing occurring, but can also be at 31 or so where icing occurs on elevated surfaces etc.

Because the cold air is north south based -- Roanoke should be sleet but mainly rain after that.

Be alert-- will update on Twitter and facebook as needed.
