However, Sunday is a different story. A light winter mix is possible in the early morning of the northern triangle, around 7:00 am to 9:00 am, bringing hail, snow or freezing rain. It should switch to rain after that.

Although the effect on the Triangle should be minimal, freezing rain can cause some slippery spots on the roads, as temperatures fluctuate around the freezing mark.
For tomorrow: most of us receive cold rain, the areas to the north and west of the Triangle will have dangerous travel conditions because of freezing rain. pic.twitter.com/dZC9dKnUJ8
