Lower 30's today

Partly cloudy in the morning then becoming mostly cloudy. Highs in the lower 30s. Southwest winds 5 to 10 mph.

Tonight

Cloudy. Chance of rain and snow in the evening...then a chance of snow after midnight. Lows in the mid 20s. Southwest winds 5 to 10 mph. Chance of precipitation 30 percent.

Snow falls, roads slick

A 'chance' of snow in the forecast has become reality over the last 45 minutes or so. In that time, almost a half inch has fallen in Northern Bates County making roads very slick. Use extreme caution if you are traveling this evening. You may view live radar here. Rumor has it we are to expect 2 to 3 inches from this slow moving winter storm.
