We are just now at the freezing this morning. Its 32 degrees here in raleigh, blue skies as we look towards downtown. Some areas though still below freezing. This is kind of the calm before the storm so to speak. We have several things going on over the coming days that are really going to throw some curve balls at us. So tomorrow were looking at rain and snow mix, a dusting up to 2 inches possible, but look ahead to the weekend bitter cold temperatures below freezing for possibly 48 hours and then messy Winter Weather expected next to be a classic North Carolina storm. Were watching an area of low pressure coming up from the gulf states and cold air from off to the north and as they combine we could see snow, a wintry mix. So lets go ahead and talk about whats going to happen over the coming say 24 hours first. Right now wind gusts at about 20 Miles Per Hour in raleigh, 18 Miles Per Hour in durham, 22mile he per hour in roxboro. So still a bit breezy out there and we all know thats going to have a big impact more likely feels like the 20s for a lot of you. 32 in durham and in 34 in littleton. Its been a struggle to reach these temperatures. Around fayetteville. Raeford you were at one point at 15 degrees this morning youre now at 35. Well be close to 36 at lunchtime today, 40 our afternoon high, normal for this time of year actually 54 degrees. So almost 15 degrees colder than where we should be. We drop back into by 6 p. M. This afternoon. Of this afternoon no worries for us, plenty of sunshine to go around. Heading into overnight tonight those clouds going to start to spill into central North Carolina. Thats the beginning of it. I think your morning commute is going to be dry tomorrow unless this system speeds up that has been the trend. So midmorning through lunchtime were starting to see some snow even some wintry mix weather happening down around the sand hills. These could accumulate small accumulations expected though so keep that in mind. As fast as it moves in its going to be out so the morning and afternoon commute hours actually look dry. Its what happens midday that could cause some slick conditions on the roadways. So heres what were thinking this light blue dusting to a half an inch, this includes raleigh, durham, chapel hill. Now, the furthest you head this system is moving up the coast so were looking at amounts there. So more moisture, higher totals up to 2 inches possible, isolated locations, i think the average in this dark blue is going to be close to an inch of snow. So 40 our high this afternoon, 39 in durham, 44 in fayetteville. Overnight tonight increasing clouds, cold and calmer, right around 22 degrees for an overnight low. So youll need the heavy winter gear again tomorrow morning. Keep it with you. You may want some boots as you head into the midday hours. 37 our high on friday.
