Motorists across central NC should be alert for isolated patches of black ice tomorrow morning. Slow down, give yourself extra travel time, and if you see any wet spots on the road, it's best to assume those spots may be icy. @DurhamCounty@CityofDurhamNC
While the incoming breeze and drier air will help dry out most roads tonight, there is a risk of isolated icy patches tonight into Tuesday morning, mainly in areas of rainfall runoff or ponding. Motorists are urged to use extra caution this evening into Tuesday morning. #ncwx
