..PATCHY ICING CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT
TEMPERATURES IN MANY MOUNTAIN LOCATIONS WILL BE NEAR OR BELOW
FREEZING EARLY THIS MORNING. THIS COULD PERMIT PATCHES OF BLACK
ICE TO DEVELOP ON AREA ROADWAYS IN LOCATIONS THAT DID NOT DRY OUT
SUFFICIENTLY ON SUNDAY. IN ADDITION, PATCHY FREEZING DRIZZLE, VERY
LIGHT FREEZING RAIN, AND FREEZING FOG COULD DEVELOP IN SOME
LOCATIONS OVERNIGHT, ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS,
THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS, AND AREAS NEAR THE TENNESSEE BORDER. THIS
TOO COULD LEAD TO A LIGHT GLAZE OF ICING IN SOME SPOTS, ESPECIALLY
ON ELEVATED SURFACES.
PLAN AHEAD TO ALLOW EXTRA TRAVEL TIME THIS MORNING. BE ESPECIALLY
CAUTIOUS ON BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES. WATCH CAREFULLY FOR BLACK ICE
WHEN DRIVING OR WALKING SINCE IT MAY BE VERY DIFFICULT TO SPOT ON
THE PAVEMENT. THE FOG COULD ALSO MAKE TRAVEL DIFFICULT.

FEW LOCATIONS OVERNIGHT, REDUCING VISIBILITIES TO ONE-QUARTER TO
ONE- HALF MILE, OR LESS, AT TIMES.
USE CAUTION IF TRAVELING IN THE AREA EARLY THIS MORNING. ALLOW
EXTRA TRAVEL TIME TO REACH YOUR DESTINATION, REDUCE YOUR SPEED,
AND ALLOW EXTRA STOPPING DISTANCE. USE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS AND FOG
