Special Statement


... Slippery travel conditions possible overnight...

Patchy freezing drizzle is expected over much of the area tonight.
As temperatures cool into the middle and upper 20s some ice may form
on Road surfaces... causing slippery conditions. The freezing
drizzle and slippery travel conditions could last into the morning
commute.

Anyone planning travel overnight should be aware of the potential
for slippery roads. Be especially cautious on elevated Road
surfaces such as bridges and overpasses which typically see ice
formation before other Road surfaces.
