A Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for Monday night through Tuesday afternoon as a system moves into the area, bringing the potential for freezing rain.

According to the advisory, the freezing rain threat is expected to occur in the pre-dawn hours on Tuesday as temperatures drop. While the ice potential is less than 0.1", which is not expected to cause major power issues, it could create slick spots on roads, especially on raised surfaces such as bridges.

Road temperatures, still cold from the previous system, combined with the incoming rain and dropping temperatures, could lead to the formation of a thin, icy glaze on certain areas. As a result, commuters are advised to exercise caution and allow for extra time during Tuesday morning's drive.

The Winter Weather Advisory will be in effect from 8 p.m. Monday night until noon on Tuesday. During this time, residents are urged to monitor updates from local authorities and the weather services to stay informed about any changes in the forecast.

It is recommended that individuals take necessary precautions, such as driving at reduced speeds, keeping a safe distance from other vehicles, and avoiding unnecessary travel if possible. Additionally, drivers should be especially careful on elevated surfaces and bridges, where icy conditions are more likely to occur.

The freezing rain threat is expected to diminish by Tuesday afternoon as temperatures rise. However, until then, residents should remain vigilant and stay updated on any road and weather developments that could impact their commute.

Remember to stay safe and informed during this winter weather event. Follow all recommended guidelines and stay tuned to local news outlets for the latest updates.
