GREENSBORO, N.C. — After a stretch of cold, quiet weather, a new storm system will move in late Monday night, bringing a cold, soaking rain on Tuesday. Some spots in the Foothills and far northwest Piedmont may briefly dip near freezing at the onset, creating a low-end chance of early-morning icing before temperatures rise. Due to the widespread chilly rainfall and small chance of freezing rain, your WFMY News 2 Weather Team is issuing a Weather Impact Alert Day for Tuesday.
Weather Impact Alert
When
Cold rain will arrive late Monday night, spreading across the Piedmont Triad just before daybreak Tuesday. A short window early Tuesday morning before sunrise may be cold enough for brief freezing rain in the Foothills and far northwest Piedmont before temperatures rise above freezing. If you’re planning on driving in these areas early Tuesday, make sure you’re taking it slow and looking for slick spots.
Steady rain continues through midday and afternoon, tapering off by Tuesday evening.
Impact
The Foothills and NW Piedmont may see isolated slick spots early Tuesday morning, mainly on bridges and elevated surfaces…
