RALEIGH, N.C. — Freeze warnings were in effect Sunday for Wake, Durham, Orange, Nash and Chatham Counties, making it a chilly start for runners participating in the Rock 'n' Roll Raleigh Half-Marathon at 7 a.m.

The freeze warnings will expire at 9 a.m., and, according to WRAL meteorologist Mike Moss, despite the morning cold, Sunday afternoon will be sunny and warmer.

Roads on Sunday morning were in good condition after a light overnight snow in Raleigh and northern potions of the viewing area didn't stick, despite temperatures in the 30s. Temperatures in Raleigh should be in the 40s by 10 a.m. and the 50s by 2 p.m., according to Moss.

Monday will be similarly cool, with highs in the 50s, and rainy, before a warm-up arrives for Tuesday and the rest of the week.
