Drivers are urged to be cautious while out on the roads due to the probability of a thin layer of ice and snow covering any untreated roadways.
“When temperatures are below freezing, motorists need to be especially careful on bridges and overpasses where slippery spots can easily develop,” the advisory stated.
After the changeover to rain, there may also be flooding in poor drainage areas.
