With temperatures dropping well below freezing tonight into Monday morning, black ice development is likely as wet roads freeze. Roads may therefore become slick and slippery, especially on untreated, secondary, and back roads. Slow down and use caution when driving, especially when traversing roads that have not been treated. If you are walking outside, watch your first few steps taken on stairs, sidewalks, and driveways. These surfaces could be icy and slippery, increasing your risk of a fall and injury. Road and sidewalk conditions should improve later Monday morning as temperatures warm to above freezing.

Minimal drying of Sunday's rainfall and below freezing temps will create patchy black ice on area roads, bridges, overpasses, parking lots, sidewalks, driveways, and other paved surfaces. These thin sheets of ice may be difficult to see, especially during the pre-dawn hours. They may appear to be wet spots on the road. Motorists will have a difficult time determining which spots are just wet and which are icy.

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.
