While models continue to increase the amounts of forecast precipitation, temperature trends are rather warm and should limit heavy snow accumulations as meting occurs as snow tries to accumulate Tuesday night. That said there is the potential for periods of heavy snow overnight Tuesday and into early Wednesday morning, Heavy snowfall rates could overwhelm warm air and ground temperature mainly from Raleigh east to I -95. Periods of heavy snow could result in higher snowfall amounts as well as more accumulations on road surfaces.
