...PATCHY FREEZING RAIN AND DRIZZLE THIS EVENING WITH BLACK ICE
DEVELOPING OVERNIGHT...

TEMPERATURES WILL FALL BELOW FREEZING OVER THE ENTIRE REGION BY
LATE AFTERNOON BEHIND AN ARCTIC COLD FRONT. PATCHY AREAS OF MIXED
SLEET AND LIGHT FREEZING RAIN AND FREEZING DRIZZLE ARE EXPECTED TO
DEVELOP. AS GROUND TEMPERATURES ARE WARM THERE SHOULD BE MINIMAL
IMPACT FROM THE FALLING PRECIPITATION. EVEN SO...IF THE
PRECIPITATION BECOMES A LITTLE MORE WIDESPREAD THAN EXPECTED...A
WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY MAY STILL BE ISSUED FOR PARTS OF THIS AREA
FOR THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS.

AS TEMPERATURES QUICKLY FALL...AREAS OF BLACK ICE ARE EXPECTED TO
DEVELOP ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND NORTH MOUNTAINS AS WELL AS THE
FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT OF NORTH CAROLINA TONIGHT AS WET PAVEMENT
FREEZES. PARTS OF THE NORTHEAST PIEDMONT OF SOUTH
CAROLINA...INCLUDING ROCK HILL MAY ALSO SEE BLACK ICE DEVELOP.
THIS WILL RESULT IN SLICK SPOTS DEVELOPING ON SOME ROADWAYS LATER
TONIGHT AND TUESDAY MORNING.
