Raleigh, NC — A wintry mix of snow and sleet is expected to arrive in North Carolina late Monday night, potentially making travel hazardous by early Tuesday morning. Residents in Raleigh, Durham, and surrounding areas should prepare for slick roads and possible delays.
According to the National Weather Service, precipitation will begin as rain Monday evening before transitioning into a mix of snow and sleet after midnight. Temperatures will drop to the low 30s, creating the potential for icy conditions on roads, especially along I-40 and I-540. While accumulation is expected to remain low, even a light dusting could cause travel disruptions during the Tuesday morning commute.
Tuesday will remain cold, with highs only reaching the upper 30s. Rain is expected throughout the day, further complicating road conditions. By Wednesday, the system will move out, but lingering moisture could keep roads slick in some areas.
Drivers are urged to use caution and allow extra time for travel. The North Carolina Department of Transportation is preparing road treatments, but black ice remains a concern. Stay updated with local forecasts and consider delaying unnecessary travel late Monday into early Tuesday.
