Frigid Tomorrow, Winter Storm Fri-Sat

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- Tonight: Clear and cold. Overnight lows in the teens and 20s but wind chills in the single digits and teens.

Tomorrow: Sunny but a frigid breeze. High of 38 (but feels more like the upper 20s).

Friday: Most of dry is dry, but cloudy and cold. High of 38.

First Alert- Winter Storm Friday evening into Saturday morning:

The storm starts off as snow Friday evening/night. Then most of central NC transitions to a wintry mix/rain before exiting the region mid to late Saturday morning. The trickiest part of the forecast will be about the placement of the wintry mix (sleet/freezing rain). Expect 2-4" of snow in Person, Granville, and Mecklenburg counties, a general 1-3" across most of central NC, and less than an inch for areas south of Pinehurst and Wilson. Saturday afternoon will feature a mixture of sun and clouds with highs in the low 40s.

Temperatures will fall into the 20s Saturday night, which will allow for icy spots to develop. So be aware of black ice Saturday night into Sunday morning.

Sunday-Wednesday: Plenty of sunshine with highs in the 40s.

Have a good night!
