Special Weather Statement
Issued: 6:43 PM Jan. 25, 2026 – National Weather Service
...Potential For Hazardous Road Travel Conditions... 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.
