After a period of light rain/snow showers this afternoon and evening, temperatures will fall below freezing and into the 20s overnight. Light winds will limit how quickly wet surfaces can dry out and thus we expect areas of black ice to develop tonight and persist through the morning commute tomorrow. Travel with caution, especially on untreated surfaces and secondary roads.

This will allow for areas of black ice to form on untreated ground surfaces. Motorists and pedestrians should expect areas of icy travel conditions overnight through Thursday morning, especially on untreated ground surfaces and secondary roadways. Elevated roadways such as bridges and overpasses as well as highway on and off ramps will be particularly vulnerable to black ice formation and slippery travel conditions through Thursday morning.
