Special Weather Statement issued January 18 at 8:55PM EST by NWS Raleigh NC

Roads remain wet from earlier precipitation. As temperatures fall into the mid to upper 20s, patchy black ice will be possible overnight and into early Monday morning. Secondary, less traveled roads, bridges, overpasses, and sidewalks will be especially susceptible. Black ice is difficult to see and distinguish from dry surfaces. The deceptive nature of black ice can catch you unaware while you are driving or walking, causing you to lose control of your motor vehicle or to slip and fall.

Special Weather Statement issued January 18 at 8:24PM EST by NWS Newport/Morehead City NC

Minimal drying of Sunday's rainfall and below freezing temps will create patchy black ice on area roads, bridges, overpasses, parking lots, sidewalks, driveways, and other paved surfaces. These thin sheets of ice may be difficult to see, especially during the pre-dawn hours. They may appear to be wet spots on the road. Motorists will have a difficult time determining which spots are just wet and which are icy.

Special Weather Statement issued January 18 at 8:24PM EST by NWS Wakefield VA

With temperatures dropping well below freezing tonight into Monday morning, black ice development is likely as wet roads freeze. Roads may therefore become slick and slippery, especially on untreated, secondary, and back roads. Slow down and use caution when driving, especially when traversing roads that have not been treated. If you are walking outside, watch your first few steps taken on stairs, sidewalks, and driveways. These surfaces could be icy and slippery, increasing your risk of a fall and injury. Road and sidewalk conditions should improve later Monday morning as temperatures warm to above freezing.

Special Weather Statement issued January 18 at 8:14PM EST by NWS Wilmington NC

Lingering water on surfaces from rainfall on Sunday will create patchy black ice on area roads into early Monday morning. Icy spots could form on paved surfaces such as bridges and overpasses, primary and secondary roads, parking lots, sidewalks and driveways. Black ice is difficult to see and distinguish from dry surfaces. The deceptive nature of black ice can catch you unaware while you are driving or walking, causing you to lose control of your motor vehicle or to slip and fall.
