Details: Widespread rain and freezing rain will continue into the overnight hours...but should come to an end toward daybreak. However...residual moisture, light winds and the cold ground from our recent weather will be favorable for the formation of black ice. This may also be accompanied by some freezing fog too. Motorists traveling early Wednesday morning should allow extra time to reach their destination and be prepared for black ice. Untreated walkways and parking lots may also become very slippery for pedestrians. Temperatures should rise above freezing by mid- late Wednesday morning alleviating any black ice issues.
