This opportunity is small and not everyone will see flakes, he added.
In Orange and Durham counties, the chance of a gust was greater around dawn, when rain passed to a brief snowfall in some areas.
The rest of the day will bring a cool breeze, with temperatures dropping to the freezing point.
The warmest part of Christmas Day arrived before dawn for the Triangle. Temperatures will cool gradually, reaching 32 degrees in the late afternoon and warming up in the 1920s overnight in Raleigh.
