Snow and ice blanketed Durham and central North Carolina on Saturday, January 25, 2026.

Forecasters predict that central North Carolina will receive more snow this weekend, but it won't be as intense as the recent storm.

The National Weather Service in Raleigh predicts the area could receive some light snow, starting Friday night through Sunday morning. Meteorologists are uncertain about the amount of accumulation, but WRAL reported that there's a high likelihood the Triangle could get at least an inch of snow over the weekend.

"Although considerable forecast uncertainty remains regarding amounts and related impacts, the potential exists for significant snow anywhere from the Carolinas into portions of the Mid-Atlantic," according to the most recent National Weather Service briefing.

Temperatures will dip this weekend, with daytime highs in the mid to upper 20s to nighttime lows in the teens. Forecasters also said the arctic cold and wind could bring wind chill temperatures down to the single digits.

Forecasters predict some light snow will come to the Triangle area starting Friday evening.
