The Parade of Minor Storms continues...

Another storm system will pass WELL to our west and with it bring a chance of sleet and freezing rain late tomorrow night and Friday AM.

This is a limited moisture event and should only provide a minor glaze if it all materializes. Most of model data does bring in the moisture but a few are VERY light in the order of a couple tenths of an inch. In most cases their will be an initial burst of sleet that is quickly over to light freezing rain.

Temps look to get near Freezing by mid morning Friday. The temps will hoover just above freezing all day and may dip below freezing for a time as another slug of moisture comes through late Friday night into Saturday morning. IF this is just a tad cooler than anticipated, it could be a more substantial ice event. I'm thinking we JUST miss it but some areas to the north and west of Lynchburg and Roanoke, above 2000 ft may get a good glaze out of this.

We are in a stormier, wetter pattern through the first 10 days of March. Early next week, we may be looking at another event that starts as snow and or ice and ends as rain and then the first 10 days of March may have a shot at a Nor Easter or two-- with some colder temps CLOSE.
