Potential snow Monday afternoon led Durham Public Schools to cancel classes on Monday - and it remains to be seen if Tuesday also is cancelled due to patches of black ice on some area roads.

The National Weather Service issued a winter weather advisory in effect from 7 a.m. Monday until noon on Tuesday. Snow is expected, with accumulations ranging from about a half inch across the Triad and Triangle to as much as two inches near the Virginia border. Lingering moisture could result in black ice late Monday night into Tuesday morning.

Expect slippery road conditions. The hazardous conditions could affect the Monday morning and evening commutes. Black ice could affect Tuesday morning commute.

Temperatures are expected to fall rapidly Monday evening, reaching the mid/upper teens Tuesday morning.
