Details:
With temperatures dropping well below freezing tonight into Monday
morning, black ice development is likely as wet roads freeze.
Roads may therefore become slick and slippery, especially on
untreated, secondary, and back roads.

Slow down and use caution when driving, especially when traversing
roads that have not been treated. If you are walking outside,
watch your first few steps taken on stairs, sidewalks, and
driveways. These surfaces could be icy and slippery, increasing
your risk of a fall and injury.

Road and sidewalk conditions should improve later Monday morning
as temperatures warm to above freezing.
