While there has been some melting of snow and ice covered roads this afternoon, temperatures will quickly fall back below freezing late this afternoon. With low temperatures tonight in the low to mid teens, any liquid remaining on roadways will quickly refreeze. Widespread hazardous travel conditions are expected across the area, including primary and secondary roads, bridges and overpasses. 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. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... If you plan to drive or walk, remain alert for black ice. Slow your driving speed and use care when walking on sidewalks, driveways or parking lots. Slips and falls constitute a leading cause of injuries during winter weather. && $$
