Widespread rain and freezing rain will continue into the overnight hours...but should come to an end toward daybreak. However...residual moisture, light winds and the cold ground from our recent weather will be favorable for the formation of black ice. This may also be accompanied by some freezing fog too. Motorists traveling early Wednesday morning should allow extra time to reach their destination and be prepared for black ice. Untreated walkways and parking lots may also become very slippery for pedestrians. Temperatures should rise above freezing by mid- late Wednesday morning alleviating any black ice issues.

Temperatures have slightly risen across the region but there are still some locations at or just below freezing. While most precipitation is expected to be plain rain, there will be some pockets of freezing rain. An additional glaze of ice accumulation can be expected in these locations. Some localized slippery conditions can be expected where these pockets of freezing rain occur. Motorists should exercise extra caution when driving and allow for extra spacing between vehicles.
