A FREEZING RAIN ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 AM EST TODAY.

OCCASIONAL LIGHT FREEZING PRECIPITATION OVER THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS 
OF CARBON, MONROE AND SUSSEX COUNTIES WILL OCCUR THROUGH DAYBREAK, 
CAUSING SOME LIGHT ICING THAT WILL MAKE DRIVING DIFFICULT. THE LOWER 
ELEVATIONS WILL NOT SEE ANY ICING. 

PEOPLE DRIVING OVER THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS THIS MORNING SHOULD BE 
PREPARED FOR SLIPPERY TRAVEL. ONLY A SMALL AMOUNT OF FREEZING RAIN 
OR DRIZZLE IS NEEDED TO CAUSE BLACK ICE AND HAZARDOUS TRAVEL ON 
UNTREATED ROADWAYS.

TEMPERATURES OVER THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS ARE EXPECTED TO RISE ABOVE 
FREEZING DURING THE MORNING, WHICH WOULD END ANY ICING THREAT. 

A FREEZING RAIN ADVISORY MEANS THAT PERIODS OF FREEZING RAIN OR 
DRIZZLE WILL CAUSE TRAVEL DIFFICULTIES. BE PREPARED FOR SLIPPERY 
ROADS. SLOW DOWN AND USE CAUTION WHILE DRIVING. GIVE YOURSELF PLENTY 
OF EXTRA TIME TO REACH YOUR DESTINATION. BE WARY WHILE TRAVELING 
OVER BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES.
