A Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for Carrboro and the surrounding Triangle area, effective from 7 a.m. today through tomorrow noon. The advisory warns of up to half an inch of snow, which could impact Monday evening and Tuesday morning commutes.
The morning commute is expected to see mostly rain with occasional snowflakes, shifting to all snow in the afternoon, according to the Town of Carrboro. Cold temperatures following the snowfall could cause a flash freeze overnight, increasing the risk of black ice on roads and elevated surfaces heading into Tuesday.
Tonight, temperatures across the Triangle are expected to drop to a low of 22°F, increasing the risk of icy conditions. Residents are advised to exercise caution and prepare for the frigid overnight freeze.
Public Works crews in Carrboro have begun treating sidewalks near town buildings in anticipation of the freeze and will continue monitoring roadways overnight. Residents are advised to exercise caution, particularly while driving tomorrow morning, as conditions are expected to be hazardous. "Please use extra caution when driving, especially Tuesday morning," the city's release stated.
