...PATCHES OF VERY LIGHT FREEZING RAIN POSSIBLE THROUGH 8 AM...

AN AREA OF VERY LIGHT PRECIPITATION HAS SPREAD EASTWARD OVER FAR
SOUTH CENTRAL PORTIONS OF NORTH CAROLINA EARLY THIS MORNING...
ALONG AND SOUTH OF A LINE FROM WADESBORO TO SOUTHERN PINES TO
FORT BRAGG TO GOLDSBORO. OBSERVATIONS FROM THIS AREA INDICATE THAT
THE PRECIPITATION IS MOSTLY FALLING AS VERY LIGHT RAIN... HOWEVER
A FEW SPOTS ARE REPORTING TEMPERATURES AT OR CLOSE TO 32 DEGREES
WITH VERY LIGHT FREEZING RAIN FALLING. AS THIS PRECIPITATION IS
FALLING INTO DRY AIR NEAR THE GROUND... MUCH OF IT IS EVAPORATING
BEFORE REACHING THE GROUND... CAUSING ANY FREEZING RAIN TO BE VERY
LIGHT AND PATCHY WITH ONLY TRACE AMOUNTS. COUNTY OFFICIALS IN
THESE AREAS REPORT NO ICE ACCUMULATION ON ROADWAYS. A SLIGHT
ACCRUAL OF ICE ON ELEVATED OBJECTS IS POSSIBLE EARLY THIS
MORNING... BUT TRAVEL PROBLEMS ARE NOT EXPECTED. WE WILL CONTINUE
TO MONITOR THE LATEST OBSERVATIONS AND CONDITIONS THROUGH THE
EARLY MORNING HOURS.

THIS LIGHT PRECIPITATION WILL TAPER OFF FROM SOUTHWEST TO
NORTHEAST DURING THE MID TO LATE MORNING HOURS.
