Spotty Showers, Brief Freezing Rain Possible East

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- First Alert-Light Icing Potential: The threat of light icing for areas south and east of Raleigh continues to be significantly low, but may result in isolated slick spots to start the day. The best potential will be up until around 8am for counties along and east of I-95. Temps will be safely above freezing by 8am.

Good morning! That surface low off the South Carolina coast is bringing a little moisture northward. Southeast parts of the viewing area may see a few showers, but appreciable rainfall is unlikely. To the west, a dry and cold morning will continue with a bit more cloud cover. Highs will be in the upper 40s to low 50s.

Showers will come to an end by early afternoon as the low gets pulled away with the approaching cold front. Skies will clear tonight behind the front. Lows will be in the upper 20s to low 30s.

High pressure builds into the Northeast and mid-Atlantic Christmas Day and largely keeps the region dry and near historical average temperatures through the remainder of this week.

Rain chances return late Saturday night and into early next week as few disturbances move through the region. There will be off and on chances for rain and storm chances to end 2024 and start 2025. Starting Saturday, highs will be in the 60s and lows in the 50s.

Have a good day!
