Severe Weather Center

Good afternoon everyone, Mike Maze here with a look at the cold forecast. I expect cloudy skies with rain changing over to some light snow as colder air shifts into the region. Lows in the upper 20s-lower 30s. Low pressure is developing and strengthening once it departs our coastal area and moves up the coast. On the backside of the low we should see some wraparound moisture move into the state overnight and for the first part of the day Saturday. As the moisture moves in, the air aloft is cooling down which would support a changeover to some light snow. We expect 1-1.5" across central North Carolina with some pockets of 2-3 inches possible in our NE and NW counties. Less than an inch of snow is expected in our southern communities. Be aware roads could become slippery and slick toward daybreak so if you are out and about be careful!

Happy Friday everyone! Meteorologist Zach Maloch here, we'll see mostly cloudy and mainly dry afternoon, but isolated rain showers will be possible in our far southeastern communities around the evening commute. Highs will be in the mid - upper 40s. Meteorologist Elizabeth Gardner and I are tracking the wintry weather that will move in tonight. A band of light snow will start to move into our northwestern communities around and after 11 PM and move slowly east and southeast through the night. Everyone should see a period of light snow through the night with snow ending in the Triangle by 8 AM and our southeastern communities by 10 AM.
