The back end of the precip band is within sight, but not before we get thru a couple of intense bursts of sleet and snow. A weaker band is moving out of the Triangle now with a more intense, more convective line on it’s heels progged to arrive in Raleigh by 7. This line has history of a couple of lighting strikes, so don’t be surprised to hear a rumble of thunder under an intense shower of sleet or perhaps snow. The snow line is working it’s way south, entering north Raleigh at this time. So when it all plays out, the forecast of 1/4 to 1/2″ of sleet and snow probably will pan out just fine.
The big story will continue to be the cold and with these bursts of sleet/snow the roads will become worse even more quickly. Stay home tonight. Schools may have to rethink a 2 hr delay as not being late enough for tomorrow. Temp is down to 25 at WeatherTrex now.
