Warning Of Black Ice Tonight, Including Florida Counties
January 6, 2017
The National Weather Service is warning of black ice as far south as I-10 tonight, including in Escambia, Santa Rosa and Okaloosa counties in Florida.
Although all precipitation is expected to come to an end across the region by 3 a.m. Saturday, very cold temperatures will continue to move nto the area. Lows will drop into the mid to upper 20s as far south as the I-10 corridor.
Icy conditions will persist through at least early Saturday morning across any inland areas that receive frozen precipitation this evening. In addition, patchy black ice is possible as far south as I-10 due to the potential of residual moisture from the rain event freezing, particularly on bridges and overpasses.
Motorists are encouraged to stay off the roadways. Motorists are urged to use extreme caution if travel is necessary through early Saturday morning, especially on bridges, overpasses, and other elevated roadways.
