Some more rain on the way, but not freezing

Yes, some folks did see freezing rain and sleet on Sunday. The embedded photo, sent in by Julie Puuri of Floyd County, shows icicles hanging from a roof. Up to a half-inch of sleet was reported in some higher elevations north of Roanoke. In the Roanoke Valley itself, there was some sleet, enough for a crusty accumulation here and there especially around the fringes of the valley.
Temperatures will slowly warm Monday and then more quickly warm Tuesday. We will have a chance of rain each of the next two days, though it doesn't look like a lot is likely to fall. There could even be some thunderstorms by Tuesday evening as a new cold front approaches. The second half of the week looks drier and warmer.
