Active Weather Alerts
Special Weather Statement
Issued: 1:24 AM Jan. 19, 2026 – National Weather Service
...PATCHY BLACK ICE A THREAT INTO THE MORNING COMMUTING HOURS... Minimal drying of Sunday's rainfall and below freezing temps will create patchy black ice on area roads, bridges, overpasses, parking lots, sidewalks, driveways, and other paved surfaces. These thin sheets of ice may be difficult to see, especially during the pre-dawn hours. They may appear to be wet spots on the road. Motorists will have a difficult time determining which spots are just wet and which are icy. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... If you plan to drive or walk, remain alert for black ice. Slow your driving speed and use care when walking on sidewalks, driveways or parking lots. Slips and falls constitute a leading cause of injuries during winter weather.
