Special Weather Statement
Urgency:
Expected
Effective:
March 7, 2026 - 2:42am
Expires:
March 7, 2026 - 4:00am
Description:
An approaching swath of light wintry precipitation, mainly wet
snow but also with some embedded freezing drizzle, will move in
from the west and continue through sunrise. With temperatures
falling to near and slightly below freezing, this wintry mix of
precipitation may produce slick spots on roads, particularly
bridges, overpasses, lesser traveled roads and untreated roads.
Motorists are urged to use extra caution, particularly since
black ice can be encountered with little to no advance notice.
Reduce travel speeds, allow extra space between vehicles and allow
extra time to reach destinations this morning. The precipitation
will gradually end after sunrise.
