Details:
Lingering rain and snow showers continue to wet roads as colder
air is filtering in to the area. There is potential for black ice
to develop through the evening and overnight as temperatures fall
below freezing. This may lead untreated surfaces and roads
becoming slick.

Motorists and pedestrians should use caution. Reduce speed, allow
extra time, and be prepared for areas of slippery travel.
