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.
A winter weather warning from the triangle north and west will take effect tonight until noon tomorrow. The main threat will be freezing rain.

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.
For tomorrow: most of us get cold rain, the areas north and west of the Triangle will have dangerous travel conditions due to the icy rain. pic.twitter.com/dZC9dKnUJ8
