... Icy Road conditions will persist into the mid to late morning hours...
Residual snow and ice on area roadways will make for hazardous driving conditions... especially for locations northwest of a line from Comanche... to Dallas... to Sherman. The combination of dry air and sunny skies should help clear roadways of any remaining ice and snow by the mid to late morning hours. However... some icy spots in shaded areas underneath overpasses may persist into the afternoon hours.
Delay travel until late morning if possible. Otherwise... please travel with extreme caution and allow extra time to reach your destination. If you begin to lose control of your vehicle on an icy Road... calmly turn into the skid and decelerate until you regain control.
