... TRAVEL PROBLEMS LIKELY OVER MUCH OF THE AREA TONIGHT...

GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS WILL BRING MUCH COLDER AIR ACROSS THE REGION TONIGHT. AS TEMPERATURES FALL BELOW FREEZING FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING... BLACK ICE WILL FORM WHERE MOISTURE REMAINS ON AREA ROADS. TEMPERATURES BY DAYBREAK SATURDAY WILL GENERALLY RANGE FROM 10 TO 20 DEGREES... WHICH MAY MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO TREAT THE ROADS. IN ADDITION... SOME AT LEAST PATCHY LIGHT FREEZING DRIZZLE IS EXPECTED THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING... WHICH COULD LEAD TO SOME MINOR ICING OF ELEVATED SURFACES. MOTORISTS TONIGHT AND EARLY SATURDAY ARE ENCOURAGED TO EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION. ANY ROAD SURFACE THAT APPEARS TO BE WET WILL LIKELY BE SLICK AND HAZARDOUS.
