Snowflakes could follow chilly rain on Wednesday

DURHAM, N.C. (WTVD) — There’s a lot of chatter online about more snow coming to central NC, so we’re letting it be known that outside of some very light snow Wednesday night, this will be mainly a rain event for the region.

An area of low pressure will swing a cold front through on Wednesday. Ahead of the front, a chilly rain is expected on-and-off throughout the day.

Behind the front, very cold air will move in. As this cold air chases the lingering moisture, some wet snowflakes could mix in.

Very little accumulation is expected from these flakes. Any accumulations are most likely along the NC/VA border. It’ll just be something to see. Temperatures will fall below freezing on Wednesday night, so icy streets and sidewalks are possible.

No big winter storms are set to impact our region for at least the next 7 days.
