Raleigh, NC – A light freezing rain event could bring icy roads and bridges to central North Carolina early Tuesday morning.
The National Weather Service in Raleigh reports that rain will spread across the region before dawn Tuesday. Forecasters predict a light glaze of ice accumulation, up to 0.05 inches, between 1 a.m. and 7 a.m. Impacts are likely to be felt on elevated surfaces such as bridges and overpasses.
According to the National Weather Service, areas with the highest ice accumulation probabilities include Raleigh, Durham, and Fayetteville. Motorists should exercise caution during their morning commutes, as even a thin layer of ice can cause slick conditions.
