A batch of mixed precipitation this morning should move eastward across Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware by this afternoon with increased chances for rain as temperatures warm up through the day. Another round of moisture will move in from the south across similar areas of the Appalachians and the Mid-Atlantic. Temperatures hovering near freezing will bring a threat for freezing rain with the current forecast calling for additional ice accumulations of 0.1-0.25, mainly in the high country of Virginia. After this evening, warm air advection ahead of another system moving in from the southern part of the country should warm temperatures enough to make all precipitation rain, but northern areas in Pennsylvania may see some threats for mixed precipitation Thursday. The next Storm Summary will be issued by the Weather Prediction Center at 1000 PM EST. Please refer to your local National Weather Service office for additional information on this event. Wilder $$
