Watch for ice north of Roanoke tonight

It will get steadily colder as it rains off and on across much of the area today and tonight. A few counties north of the Roanoke and New River valleys, it may get cold enough for freezing rain and sleet later today. As a result, winter weather advisories are out for Alleghany, Rockbridge and Amherst counties and points north later today and tonight. (UPDATE 5:50 PM: Higher elevations of Bedford and Botetourt counties are now also included in what has become a freezing rain advisory END UPDATE). Icy conditions will be spotty in those counties, more widespread farther north and northwest, but use caution if you're driving north tonight. Elsewhere, it will just be a rainy and raw day and night. Cold air will lift out later in the week and we may see some 60s by Friday.

  2. Will get to that ... looks pretty far north and pretty warm, but maybe some ice on the leading edge and the typical snow showers on the back edge ... looks like a big winter storm for the Great Lakes and Northeast (what else is new?)
