The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for black ice in effect from 6 pm this evening to 9am Tuesday.
Recent snowfall has resulted in wet and slushy roadways across much of central North Carolina. Temperatures will struggle to Reach freezing this afternoon, and will quickly drop well below freezing after sunset. Low temperatures on Tuesday morning are expected to drop into the lower to mid teens across the entire area. As a result, any water, snow or slush on area roadways will quickly turn to ice around or shortly after sunset this evening and remain that way through rush hour Tuesday morning.
A winter weather advisory for black ice means that treacherous road conditions are expected. Travel in the advisory area is strongly discouraged from sunset this evening through mid to late Tuesday morning. If you must travel, exercise extreme caution while driving — especially on bridges and overpasses. Allow for extra time to reach your destination and avoid sudden stops or accelerations.
