An approaching swath of light wintry precipitation, mainly wet snow but also with some embedded freezing drizzle, will move in from the west and continue through sunrise. With temperatures falling to near and slightly below freezing, this wintry mix of precipitation may produce slick spots on roads, particularly bridges, overpasses, lesser traveled roads and untreated roads. Motorists are urged to use extra caution, particularly since black ice can be encountered with little to no advance notice. Reduce travel speeds, allow extra space between vehicles and allow extra time to reach destinations this morning. The precipitation will gradually end after sunrise.
