Temperatures overnight will hover around freezing. Moisture on
road surfaces could freeze leading to black ice, especially on
untreated roads, secondaries, bridges, and overpasses. In
addition, a few snow showers are possible overnight. Little to no additional accumulation is expected. Motorists need to exercise extra caution if traveling.


Thanks, Max. The spouse saw a couple of people fall on the ice on the way to the train station today. Be careful out there.
