Winter Weather

School systems across the Southeast are dealing with weather-related school closures for the second week in a row, leading some to try remote learning while many prepare to add more school days to make up for lost instructional time.

Forecasters warned that dangerous extra-cold conditions will persist for a huge swath of the U.S. from the Gulf Coast into New England. There were hundreds of weekend flight cancellations to North Carolina, snow flurries and falling iguanas in Florida, and more misery for thousands who are still without power from last month's ice storm in the South.

The National Weather Service predicts up to eight inches of snow during this weekend's storm.

Duke, WakeMed, and UNC Health systems are treating more weather-related injuries following a recent winter storm.

Meteorologists project that central North Carolina will see more snow this Saturday, but it won't be as intense or hazardous as the ice storm last weekend.

With the snow and icy weather winding down, emergency shelters in Wake and Durham counties are planning to close.

Snow and sleet covered much of central North Carolina Saturday night. Forecaster say more sleet expected Sunday and continue to warn of hazardous driving conditions.

Counties across the Triangle have shelters open Sunday for residents impacted by the ice storm. Most of the shelters are allowing pets and encouraging people to bring necessities like prescription medication, extra clothes and cash.

A winter storm is expected to bring snow, sleet and ice to North Carolina over the weekend. That's expected to result in widespread power outages and make travel risky into the early part of next week.

Forecasters are predicting snow, sleet, and freezing rain in North Carolina this Saturday through Monday. State officials are warning people to stay at home and off the roads.
