Special Weather Statement
Although dry Arctic air worked its way across the area overnight,
there still remained residual water and puddles along area
roadways, bridges, overpasses, parking lots and sidewalks and
driveways that became ice covered.
These patchy slick spots experienced while you are driving or
walking, could cause you to lose control of your motor vehicle or
to even slip and fall.

ice overnight and into Tuesday morning. Icy spots could form on
paved surfaces such as bridges and overpasses, primary and

Special Weather Statement
There are reports of patchy black ice this morning around Central
North Carolina. Temperatures will remain below freezing through
mid-morning, keeping some slick spots around through that time.

and main roads where patches of water running across the road
from Sunday's precipitation froze overnight.
Black ice is difficult to see and distinguish from dry surfaces.
The deceptive nature of black ice can catch you unaware while you
are driving or walking, causing you to lose control of your motor
vehicle or to slip and fall.
