Raleigh, NC – Temperatures are forecast to plummet across North Carolina tonight, with lows reaching the teens and low 20s. Residents should prepare for freezing conditions Sunday morning, especially on roadways, including I-40 and I-85, where frost could create slippery surfaces.
According to the National Weather Service in Raleigh, overnight lows tonight will dip to 17 degrees in areas like Louisburg, with cities such as Greensboro, Durham, and Fayetteville seeing lows around 19-21 degrees. Frost is expected to develop as winds subside, increasing the risk of slick road conditions early Sunday morning.
