Sleet and Snow Friday Afternoon

According to AccuWeather, Friday will start out cold and cloudy with temperatures in the upper 20’s and low 30’s.

Around 1 PM, the precipitation will start. Forecasters predict a wintry mix of snow, sleet and ice until evening.

Accumulations are expected from a light coating up to an inch of the frozen mix. Expect roads, bridges and sidewalks to be slippery.

Be Careful Out There

Mother Nature is notoriously unpredictable, but Friday’s weather could prove dangerous for drivers and pedestrians. Town of Cary will be spraying brine (salty water) on major roads to prevent formation of ice.
