"We're seeing a lot of excited people saying, 'We're seeing some big, fluffy flakes coming down.' That's quite exciting. Unfortunately, Maze said counties south of Raleigh aren't likely to see snow on Thursday night.īut, Maze said that this is just the first part of snow in central North Carolina.

Gardner said we're looking at 1 to 3 inches of snow around Wake County and 3 to 5 inches along I-95. "The models have finally come together on spreading more snow to the west." "We may be talking about an inch more snow today than we were yesterday," said Gardner. Around 7, 8 p.m., the snow line will move to the west and impact the Triangle. "In some places, it probably won't happen until we get to later in the afternoon or overnight."Īreas along and east of the I-95 corridor will see snow fill in before 5 p.m. "I would be prepared for that snow to start falling by mid-afternoon," said Gardner. We'll see mainly cloudy skies through midday before the precipitation redevelops. Icy roads left untreated will remain a problem this morning. Thursday night's first round of snow has moved out and models keep the majority of the area dry through at least noon. Temperatures will continue to drop and we'll all be in the 20s by sunrise. The weekend will see that front clear out of the area, but by that point, dew points will spike back into the mid-70s, with an upper level trough allowing for a more typical diurnal pattern to thunderstorms by the time that we get to Sunday.Friday, 4 a.m.: We are seeing temperatures at/or below freezing for everyone besides a few instances of at 33° and 34° in the Sandhills.

A more pronounced drier turn takes place tonight with dew points likely dropping into the mid-60s or even a touch lower by daybreak. We'll hold partly sunny working with this update, but if the low clouds can clear out quickly enough this morning, we might get enough drier flow behind the cold frontal passage for at least some sunnier periods today. For today, higher clouds are starting to push out of our western zones after a rather active day across the region, but low cloudiness appears to be well-entrenched at this time.
