    Areas affected...WV...northwestern VA...western MD...and far
    southwest PA

    Concerning...Winter mixed precipitation=20

    Valid 020759Z - 021200Z

    SUMMARY...Several hours of freezing rain are possible this morning
    from WV into northwestern VA, western MD, and far southwest PA.
    Highest freezing rain rates are expected along the Blue Ridge
    Mountains.

    DISCUSSION...Regional radar imagery shows a large precipitation
    shield continuing to expand northeastward across WV into northwest
    VA, western MD, and far southwest PA. Surface observations show
    several sites in southwest WV are currently reporting freezing rain
    while the sites north and east into more of eastern WV and adjacent
    northwest VA and western MD are currently precipitation free.
    Temperatures within the precipitation free zone are currently near
    freezing, and the expectation is that temperatures will cool a
    degree or two over the next free hours as the precipitation
    continues to expand into the region. Recent KRLX imagery shows a
    well-defined melting layer around 4 to 5 kft, suggesting that
    freezing rain could be the predominant precipitation type for at
    least a few hours. Some sleet could occur as well, but the
    shallowness of the cold wedge should keep its occurrence isolated.
    After an initial cool down with temperatures below freezing for at
    least a few hours, temperatures should warm again from southwest to
    northeast, with the primary precipitation type transitioning to a
    rain/snow mix.
