Expected
Effective:
March 3, 2026 - 4:38pm
Expires:
March 4, 2026 - 2:30am
Description:
Widespread rain and freezing rain will continue into the overnight
hours...but should come to an end toward daybreak.
However...residual moisture, light winds and the cold ground from
our recent weather will be favorable for the formation of black
ice. This may also be accompanied by some freezing fog too.
Motorists traveling early Wednesday morning should allow extra
time to reach their destination and be prepared for black ice.
Untreated walkways and parking lots may also become very slippery
for pedestrians. Temperatures should rise above freezing by mid-
late Wednesday morning alleviating any black ice issues.
