The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning for areas including Pasquotank, Camden, and Currituck counties. Snow accumulations are expected to reach 2 to 4 inches, with coastal regions potentially seeing up to 5 inches.
According to the National Weather Service, the snow will continue through early Wednesday morning, impacting both evening and morning commutes. Hazardous road conditions are expected, especially on major routes such as U.S. Highway 158 and N.C. Route 12. Drivers are urged to delay travel if possible and prepare for slippery roads.
The storm will begin tapering off around 7 a.m. Wednesday, with gradual clearing expected by the afternoon.
