A patchy wintry mix or freezing rain is a good bet for the New River Valley and Highlands to start the day. The messy stuff isn’t out of the question for Roanoke, either.
Lynchburg and Southside, you’re looking at just a chilly rain for the duration of the event.
The mixed bag of precipitation could cause some slick spots on area roadways, so give yourself extra time in the morning and midday. We expect any road concerns to clear up during the afternoon after the transition to rain.
Precipitation ends Tuesday evening and temperatures stay above 32° overnight.
