...REMAIN ALERT FOR PATCHY BLACK ICE ON ROADS AND OTHER PAVED
SURFACES...
LINGERING MOISTURE AND PUDDLES FROM EARLIER RAINFALL WILL CREATE

SOME ISOLATED AREAS OF FREEZING FOG ARE ALSO POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT

SLICK SPOTS, ESPECIALLY ON ELEVATED ROADWAYS.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
IF YOU PLAN TO DRIVE OR WALK, REMAIN ALERT FOR BLACK ICE. SLOW
YOUR DRIVING SPEED AND USE CARE WHEN WALKING ON SIDEWALKS,
