Areas of fog have developed over portions of the region and are
expected to expand late tonight. At the same time, temperatures
in some areas will be at or below freezing. This combination,
along with any refreezing of melted snow, could result in slippery
conditions of untreated surfaces due to black ice.

Use caution if traveling tonight as black ice can make conditions
very slick. Locally reduced visibility will be possible as well as
the fog may become thick. Leave extra room between you and the
car in front of you. Additionally, pedestrians should use caution
walking on any untreated surfaces.
