While operating flight to ROA; we had a GPWS event. I was the Pilot Monitoring; and the First Officer was the Pilot Flying. We were cleared for the visual approach to RWY 24 in very visual conditions. As we crossed the mountains on an extended base to final; the GPWS event occurred. We took immediate; appropriate action and arrested the descent. Once clear of the conflict; we continued on the visual approach to land without any issue.
Air carrier Captain reported a GPWS event during approach in visual conditions.
