Special Weather Statement
Urgency:
Expected
Effective:
March 6, 2026 - 6:32pm
Expires:
March 7, 2026 - 4:15am
Description:
Areas of drizzle with pockets of freezing drizzle will continue
into early Saturday morning. The bulk of the freezing drizzle will
be in the high terrain where temperatures were at or below
freezing and untreated roads maybe icy. However...even some of
the lower elevations had temperatures around 32 degrees which may
lead to some patchy black ice.
Plan on allowing extra travel time and be especially careful on
bridges and overpasses. This is particularly true in the high
terrain where temperatures were a few degrees below freezing.
Pedestrians should also be careful in parking lots and walkways
which may have patches of black ice.
Temperatures will warm above freezing by mid to late Saturday
morning alleviating any issues.
