EFFECT UNTIL 10 AM EST SUNDAY.

MUCH COLDER AIR WILL USHER IN AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS SOUTH
TONIGHT. TEMPERATURES WILL DROP BELOW FREEZING JUST AFTER SUNSET
THIS EVENING…THEN REACH A LOW TEMPERATURE IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE
20S SUNDAY MORNING. PATCHY DRIZZLE IS EXPECTED THROUGH THIS
EVENING WHICH MAY BEGIN TO FREEZE ON CONTACT ONCE TEMPERATURES
DROP BELOW FREEZING. ICE ACCUMULATIONS ON ELEVATED SURFACES

NOT CAUSE SIGNIFICANT CONCERN.

IN ADDITION TO THE FREEZING DRIZZLE POSSIBILITY…WATER FROM RECENT
RAINS MAY FREEZE TO FORM DANGEROUS ICY PATCHES ON SOME ROAD SURFACES.
SINCE GROUND TEMPERATURES ARE RATHER WARM…ICY PATCHES ON SURFACE
STREETS SHOULD BE ISOLATED. HOWEVER SIGNIFICANT ICING IS POSSIBLE
ON BRIDGES…OVERPASSES…AND OTHER ELEVATED ROADWAYS. ROAD ICE IS
NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE AT NIGHT…ENHANCING THE DANGER TO
UNSUSPECTING MOTORISTS. CONDITIONS SHOULD IMPROVE AFTER DAYBREAK
