Special Weather Statement
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.
