High temperatures will struggle to reach freezing Sunday and Monday and will begin falling into the teens tonight and single digits Sunday and teens again on Monday.
Hazardous travel conditions will continue in most areas through the weekend and early next week where the snow accumulated.
Roanoke Rapids police Chief Chuck Hasty said, “Tonight when the temperatures go down, the roads are going to be frozen. Stay in.”
The NWS said scattered areas of black ice will likely be a problem during the night into the morning hours through Tuesday.
