Pockets of freezing fog are being observed via webcams between
Shaniko and north of Redmond on US 97. Visibilities as low as one
quarter mile or less in freezing fog is expected to persist
until the early morning hours, leading to the potential for slick
roadways - especially across bridges and overpasses. If you
encounter dense fog, slow down, use low beam headlights, and allow
for extra space between your vehicle and those around you.

Patches of freezing drizzle are moving through the area, with
temperatures currently hovering between 20 and 30 degrees. As a
result, light ice accumulation is causing a thin glaze of ice on
roadways, particularly on bridges, overpasses, and lightly used
corridors. Conditions are expected to persist until 6 AM. Use
caution if traveling.
