Special Weather Statement
Issued: 1:16 AM Feb. 6, 2026 – National Weather Service
...BLACK ICE WILL CAUSE HAZARDOUS TRAVEL CONDITIONS TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING... The mix of rain, snow, sleet, and ice pellets, has further dampened the ground near the Crystal Coast this evening resulting in fairly widespread wet spots across portions of Onslow to Carteret County and areas north to Beaufort and mainland Hyde Counties. With temps quickly forecast to fall below freezing tonight, don't think these more widespread wet spots will dry in time, so black ice has become a concern. This threat will last until about 9AM before temps quickly warm above freezing and the black ice threat greatly lowers. Biggest areas of concern will be across bridges, overpasses, and any elevated roadways. Thin sheets of ice, called black 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. Motorists are advised to use extra caution. Allow ample distance between yourself and other vehicles, to avoid the risk of a collision if slippery conditions are encountered. Allow a little extra time to reach your destination safely.
