Raleigh, NC – Heavy snow continues to move across much of North Carolina this afternoon, with the worst travel impacts expected through early tonight, according to the US National Weather Service Raleigh.
Forecasters said the heaviest snow is currently sweeping across the western and southern Piedmont, shifting southeastward into the Triangle and Sandhills areas this evening. Further east, heavy snow bands are moving inland from the coast, with areas east of I-95 expected to experience “enhanced snow rates” over the next several hours and into the overnight period.
According to the NWS, road conditions are expected to rapidly deteriorate along and east of US-1 as temperatures fall, leading to slick and snow-covered highways. Travelers are urged to avoid unnecessary trips tonight and use extreme caution if driving in Raleigh, Fayetteville, Goldsboro, Greenville, and surrounding communities.
The weather service noted that moderate to heavy snow bands are expected to continue pulling southeast through the evening before tapering off early Thursday morning. Accumulations could vary widely depending on local intensity, but several inches are likely across central and eastern parts of the state.
Residents should monitor local forecasts for updates, as additional advisories or warnings may be issued if conditions worsen overnight.
