Snow falls; Schools close, open late
Snow was falling across parts of the state early Wednesday. The flakes were part of the advanced bands of a system crossing the central part of the state.
Posted — Updated"Outside of that band, there is not much wintry precipitation going on," WRAL Chief Meteorologist Greg Fishel said.
The bands rotating around a low-pressure system mean snow could be heavier in some locations than others, WRAL meteorologist Nate Johnson said.
"The earlier projection of 2 to 4 inches of snow across most of the Triangle may have to be shoved even further to the south if current trends continue," Fishel said early Wednesday.
“If we have more severe situations (overnight) than the two-hour delay might change,” Michael Evans, a spokesman for the Wake County Public School System, said. “We will see how the roads look in the morning and then go from there."
With temperatures dropping into the mid-20s overnight, Wednesday's morning commute could be trouble," Fishel said.
"What's likely to happen over the next seven days is just bizarre, just nothing short of bizarre," he said.
