6:07 pm
will stay dry. everybody dry now. temperatures are in the 40s with it all ready slipping to 37 where it's still clear in roxboro, 37 in south hill virginia. and as we pull out. the low pressure system is sitting right about there. and it's going to continue to move. and then it all depends on the path. if it follows the projected path and goes right here, the edge of that precipitation field will be any where southeast of raleigh. obviously if it moves further, everybody will stay dry. this is the way it looks now. we'll see a little rain possibly mixed with snow southeast of the triangle. nothing this evening, just increasing clouds into the 30s. and then over night, there could be a flake or a little bit of rain especially southeast. the other thing to note is where there will be precipitation, all these temperatures will stay above freezing. we'll time out what to expect and who will get what tomorrow and give you the rest of the week's forecast and it's going to be a cold one. stick around for that.

6:17 pm
especially where the skies are clear. 30s from roxboro, roanoke rapids, 42 in raleigh and durham, 45 in fayetteville. and 45 in goldsboro. nothing on the radar until you get to the south. there's that low pressure system developing off the coast of jacksonville and florida. and it's going to move to the northeast as we showed you earlier in the news cast. it just depends on how far away it's going to be from us. but it'll throw precipitation in areas southeast of the triangle. that looks somewhat likely. here's what you need to know. sunday, precipitation, it's mainly in the morning. it doesn't mean we won't see some in the afternoon, especially east of i-95. but the best chances are southeast of the triangle. if you're watching roxboro to the north and west, you might stay dry all day. rain is possible. but it may mix or change to snow. here's, yeah, that's a possibility, but the key here is it's going to be rain right along the coast. this is the area that could see the precipitation, i'm going to triangle southward. if you're watching southern
6:18 pm
gold borrow, smithfield, rocky mount, you have the best chance to see rain that could be mixed with snow in a little bit. and areas north and south, i don't have precipitation there because it's a slight risk some of that could sneak your way. i won't rule it out but i want to give you a feel of the lay of the land. if it goes further out to sea, you shove this all down, if it comes closer, everybody sees a chance of rain or snow. but the key to that too is all the surface temperatures will stay above freezing. so little or no accumulation might be confined to grass. a little excitement tomorrow morning but that's about it. we have 30s tonight. i'll put a chance of rain or snow mix in there after 3:00 tonight. especially into tomorrow morning. the key here is you see 30% chance. by the afternoon it should dry out. it'll stay mostly cloudy. but here's what's different. we're kind of flip-flopped. durham is further north. raleigh, a degree cooler with more clouds, 46, and where the
6:19 pm
fayetteville, and you have the best chance of seeing that precipitation, which could be mixed in with a little bit -- nothing at midnight. with a little bit of that mixed precipitation. you see that trying to show up there in the pink. and what will happen as we head toward lunch time in the afternoon hours, there's that low. it'll move away. and then by 6:00, see how clear it's going to be in charlotte and boone, all those clear skies will roll in. and we'll start monday dry. but then this cold front comes our way. and we're going to see some showers on monday evening. rain showers. and then behind the front, dry air comes in. but it could squeeze out an the snow showers will stay in the mountains on tuesday. but we could see that. too. tomorrow, in the sand hills, rain, maybe some snow, winds out of the north and northeast 8 to 12. temperatures in the low to mid 40s. the best chance of precipitation, clinton, goldsboro, wilson, you can see rain mixed with snow. mainly dry north of i-85. just a mostly cloudy day. kind of on the edge in the triangle.
6:20 pm
that monday, 40% is for the rain showers late in the day. and then tuesday, just maybe an isolated shower, look how cold it's going to be. and then thursday is sunny and 38. it's going to be 40 -- 40 on thursday. 38 on wednesday. i decided to put lincoln's birthday up there for you to show you that february is progressing quickly. 48 on friday. and then another system could give us something on saturday. 40 degrees. american heart association, great cause. $50. $100. 50 from al and kelly and 50 from us. the high was 48. we forecasted 50. >> no snow sticking now. >> no. it'll be exciting. >> it could be pretty. >> the atmosphere above is cold. but at the ground, it should melt. >> news cast the kind of snow we like. stay with us. still to come, nc state is getting another chance at duke. this time in durham.
