A winter mix of precipitation (primarily falling as a wet snow with some sleet mixed in) is possible late Thursday into Friday morning. The moisture that will feed this is currently surging through the Southern Plains and into the Mississippi Valley region Thursday morning. A winter mix is occurring through Oklahoma and Arkansas, and I expect that same mix to reach Central Virginia overnight into Friday morning.
Thanks to recent very warm temperatures in the 70's and low 80's, soil temperatures are pretty mild. This means that elevated, exposed surfaces will be the first to freeze Friday morning. Bridges and overpasses may develop some slick spots for a couple hours, before temperatures rise back above the freezing mark.
We will be updating you through Thursday with the latest on this storm's track and impact on Central Virginia.

I tried to see at noon if snow or a mix was still in the forecast for tomorrow morning. Unfortunately, I could not find out from WTVR's noon report because the station saw fit to basketball it out.
That happens this time of year, Jim. I'll have the latest details this evening and late tonight.
