...REMAIN ALERT FOR PATCHY BLACK ICE ON ROADS AND OTHER PAVED
SURFACES...

Lingering moisture and puddles from earlier rainfall will create
patchy black ice on area roads during the overnight and early
morning hours. Icy spots could form on paved surfaces such as
bridges and overpasses, primary and secondary roads, parking lots,
sidewalks and driveways.

Some isolated areas of freezing fog are also possible overnight
and in the early morning which could lead to some additional
slick spots, especially on elevated roadways.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

If you plan to drive or walk, remain alert for black ice. Slow
your driving speed and use care when walking on sidewalks,
driveways or parking lots. Slips and falls constitute a leading
cause of injuries during winter weather.
