On Tuesday morning, areas north of I-85 could see a brief burst of wintry mix and then freezing rain.

Winter weather advisory issued for Durham, Orange counties: WRAL Weather Alert Day issued for Tuesday

<p>Good morning. I'm meteorologist Elizabeth Gardner. Today is the day that we start a completely different weather pattern. It's a pretty day yesterday, but That is long gone. We're not likely to see clear skies again until maybe Friday. Let's take a look at Futurecast. We do have some light showers that developed overnight last night, but that's not going to be with us for most of the day. Watch Futurecast as we get to say, 78 o'clock in the morning. Most of it is over. Um heading out for your morning commute, you're gonna notice it's wet out there, maybe a little bit of drizzle, a lot of cloud cover and chilly temperatures. Start off in the 40s and keep it there all day long. It may clear slightly this evening. I think Futurecast is maybe a little bit ambitious with that. Typically with this pattern, which we call a wedge or cold air damming, it's really hard to get our skies to clear. It takes a lot of energy in the atmosphere and that's unlikely. We take a look at Futurecast for tomorrow. We're going to start off dry, but as we get closer to say midmorning, say 789. We begin to see a wintry mix developing from the triangle area northwards. So tomorrow is the WREL weather alert day. It is likely to be rain mixed with snow, sleet, freezing rain, just a, just a really messy sort of situation. If we see any issues, it would likely be bridges north of ID 5 or even up around, say, Roanoke Rapids, but it may be that we see that rain on and off all day and it may mix, you know, sort of, even All day long, maybe not just during the morning hours. Our flood risk is minimal, but as we get through the week, we'll see that risk climbing as we continue to get rain every day Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. And of course we'll be watching for that wintry mix north of I-85, especially. Now that doesn't mean that other places won't see it, but that's where it's more likely. Heading out this morning again, the wet streets out there, chilly temperatures starting off. In the low to mid-40s, and that's just where it will be all day long. Temperatures in the 30s, but above freezing this morning, up near the Virginia line. So high of 48 in Raleigh 47 in Durham and 50 in Fayetteville, totally different weather pattern that we saw yesterday. More rounds of rain, total rainfall between now and Friday, could be as much as 2 to 4 inches. We need the rain, but just be ready for it.</p>
