Black ice the next threat for the Raleigh-Durham region


With the winter storm wrapping up and exiting the region Monday night, a quieter weather pattern will emerge for much of the rest of the week.

After the wintery precipitation from earlier today, drier weather will filter into most of the viewing area -- but some places, like Goldsboro or Kenly, got an evening dusting of snow.

Overnight, black ice is the main concern as wet or slushy areas will freeze.

Since the start of the storm, troopers with the NC State Highway Patrol have responded to 672 collisions and 1,571 calls for service. Crews with NCDOT have used 3,500 tons of salt on roadways across the state.

Most counties are under a Winter Weather Advisory until 9 a.m. Tuesday.

The storm that blew through North Carolina on Sunday dropped 14 inches of snowin parts of the Triangle.
