lingering runoff from melted snow and sleet to refreeze on
untreated roads. Patchy black ice can be expected once again
through this morning. Icy patches will remain until temperatures
can warm above freezing in the late morning hours. If traveling
this morning, be prepared for slick spots, especially on bridges
and overpasses and any untreated roadways. Use extra caution when
walking on sidewalks, driveways, and in parking lots.
