Weather Journal

Precipitation mostly stays to our east

Some light snow accumulation occurred in the northwest North Carolina mountains and there were a few reports of brief rain mixed with sleet closer to us, but for the most part, today's storm system slipped just east of us, and it wasn't quite cold enough for wintry precipitation, anyway.

Looks like additional shots of rain -- and maybe some still-needed abundant rain -- will affect the area Friday and Sunday. Only the second of those two has any potential at all for wintry precipitation, and from this distance, that chance looks small in the Roanoke and New River valleys. Colder weather is likely to settle for a few days as 2008 begins, but it probably will not stick around long.
