NC Winter Weather: Parts of central North Carolina could see snow, sleet or icy rain Sunday morning from Triangle to areas north of I-85

RALEIGH, NC (WTVD) – Downtown North Carolina could be in more winter weather this weekend.

A winter weather warning from the triangle to the north and west goes into effect Saturday night through Sunday morning.

Throughout Saturday, the sun will give way to clouds and in the evening there will be some bursts of snow, but nothing like the snow that fell a couple of days ago.

Still, Sunday is a different story. A light winter mix can be made in the early hours of the morning from the triangle to the north from 7 am to 9 am, causing sleet, snow or freezing rain. Then it should change to rain. ABC11 meteorologist Steve Stewart says there may be up to 0.20 “of accumulated ice north and west of I-85 and that travel through these areas should be avoided if possible tomorrow morning.

While the effect on the triangle should be minimal, freezing rain could cause some slippery spots on the roads, as temperatures hover around freezing temperatures.

North of I-85, the mix will last a little longer, until noon or 1 p.m. A slight ice glaze is possible on elevated surfaces and a slight snow cover can even be seen in some areas.
