A winter storm warning was issued Thursday afternoon for all of central North Carolina from 1 p.m. Friday to 10 a.m. Saturday. Southeastern counties are under a winter weather advisory for the same period, with total snow and sleet accumulations up to a half-inch and ice accumulations up to one-tenth of an inch.

After a windy, snowy week, North Jersey residents can expect another light dusting of snow to start falling on Friday night.

The National Weather Service's Boston office said a winter storm is expected along the East Coast this weekend, but it is still possible that it could follow a more offshore track, which would not affect the Northeast.

Light snow is expected to start falling between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. in central NC Friday, from southwest to northeast. The wintry precip should start falling in Raleigh and the Triangle around 7 p.m. Friday, the Weather Service said.
