...BLACK ICE ISSUES AGAIN TONIGHT...
Temperatures falling below freezing tonight into Wednesday morning
will promote a refreeze of any melted snow. This melted snow
across untreated roadways and bridges will refreeze into black
ice. Sidewalks and parking lots will also become slick.
Slow down and use caution when driving. If you are walking
outside, watch your steps on sidewalks, driveways and parking
lots. These surfaces could be icy and slippery, increasing your
risk of a fall and injury.

...AREAS OF BLACK ICE ACROSS MOST OF CENTRAL AND EASTERN VIRGINIA
TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING...
With temperatures again dropping well below freezing tonight into
early Wednesday morning, black ice development is likely as
wet roads and leftover snow and slush refreeze. Roads may
therefore become slick and slippery, especially on untreated,
secondary, and back roads.
Slow down and use caution when driving, especially when traversing
roads that have been heavily shaded today, or those that have not
been treated. If you are walking outside, watch your first few
steps taken on stairs, sidewalks, and driveways. These surfaces
could be icy and slippery, increasing your risk of a fall and
injury.
Road and sidewalk conditions should again improve later Wednesday
morning as temperatures warm well above freezing.
