Ice and sleet will continue to cause hazardous travel conditions on some roads and bridges in the forecast area through at least Monday morning. In addition to areas with reported impacts, temperatures will quickly drop below freezing across the remainder of the forecast area tonight. Very cold temperatures could cause moisture and standing water to freeze on roads and bridges, even where freezing rain and sleet did not fall. Black ice can appear like a wet road, but can be dangerous to sudden loss of traction on the road. Be sure to check road conditions with local Departments of Transportation before traveling overnight, and drive carefully if you are uncertain of the road conditions in your area.

Dress in layers including a hat, face mask, and gloves if you must go outside. To prevent water pipes from freezing; wrap or drain or allow them to drip slowly. Drain in-ground sprinkler systems and cover above ground pipes. Keep pets indoors as much as possible. Make sure outdoor animals have a warm, dry shelter, food, and unfrozen water. Make frequent checks on older family, friends, and neighbors. Ensure portable heaters are used correctly. Do not use generators or grills inside.
