Raleigh, NC, faces a frosty forecast today with a high of 39°F. Overnight refreezing has resulted in slick road conditions, especially on side streets and in areas east of Wake County. A winter weather advisory remains in effect until 9 a.m., urging drivers to proceed with caution. While major roads are mostly clear, thin patches of ice could still pose dangers, so it’s best to drive slowly and stay alert.

Morning temperatures dipped to near single digits, highlighting the need to dress warmly. By this afternoon, the mercury is expected to rise just above freezing, bringing slight relief. The good news is that a warming trend will kick in over the weekend, with highs reaching the mid-40s Saturday and near 50°F on Sunday.

Residents are encouraged to take precautions to stay safe in these conditions. Bring pets indoors or provide them with insulated shelters, cover plants to prevent frost, and ensure pipes are well-insulated to avoid freezing.
