This evening, as snow showers continue through the region, the National Weather Service in Wilmington reported.

We may see up to an inch of snow, but as the skies grow darker, visibility may be low. Cold temperatures may cause slick spots as temperatures drop below freezing. The NWS advises motorists to be alert of rapidly changing visibility and slick spots.

We will also see some breezy winds and cloudy skies as temperatures only rise a little from overnight lows to a high of around 35 degrees.

Overnight snow chances will dip somewhat, but will otherwise stay with us through dawn on Sunday. Temperatures will fall only a few degrees to around 30 degrees.

After dawn tomorrow snow chances will rise again and stay with us after night falls before falling away after midnight. Highs will again only rise slightly to around 34 degrees, then dip a little further to around 27 degrees overnight.

By dawn on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, it will be cold, cloudy and breezy, though the NWS predicted that we won’t see snow or rain. Highs will be around 32 degrees, falling to around 27 degrees overnight.

Monday night, though, we will see a chance of snow again starting in the early hours of Tuesday morning, peaking just before dawn, which is expected to dwindle throughout the day.
