Another round of moisture will move into the area late Wednesday. It'll start out as rain during the evening, but during the overnight hours temperatures are expected to cool to near, or below freezing in many locations. Freezing rain is most likely in the Foothills, and areas north and west of I-85. It is possible, but not a sure thing in Greensboro and Winston-Salem, with temperatures expected to be right on the edge of freezing.
