A large and slow-moving storm system will spread rain into the area late Thursday night, with rain continuing into Christmas Day. Shallow surface cold air across western Virginia, especially in the valleys, will allow the rain to freeze on contact. An accumulation of up to one-quarter of an inch of ice will be possible in the watch area. While there could be a brief period of freezing rain in counties farther east, the period of time of below normal temperatures coinciding with rainfall appears very short.
