   Areas affected...central and eastern portions of the Carolinas

   Concerning...Freezing rain 

   Valid 110327Z - 110600Z

   SUMMARY...Freezing rain will continue into tonight. The heaviest ice
   accretion rates will be in the eastern Carolinas for the next few
   hours.

   DISCUSSION...03Z mesoanalysis depicts strong 925-850 mb WAA
   advection overspreading the Carolinas, likely supporting
   above-freezing temperatures in this layer, while surface
   temperatures remain at or just below freezing. The aforementioned
   thermodynamic vertical profile supports continued freezing rain
   potential, as demonstrated by surface observations on a widespread
   basis. The primary band of heavier precipitation (and associated
   higher ice accretion rates) is rapidly shifting eastward across the
   eastern Carolinas. As such, .06 in/3 h ice accretion rates are most
   likely closer to the coast over the next few hours. Still, MRMS
   mosaic radar imagery shows continued lighter rainfall (likely
   freezing) still ongoing as far west as the immediate lee of the
   Appalachians. As such, at least light freezing rain should continue
   for several more hours.
