The National Weather Service in Memphis warns that patchy black ice may form overnight. After today’s rain and with temperatures dropping below freezing, roads and sidewalks could become slippery. Wet-looking roads may actually be icy through sunrise, according to the National Weather Service.

In the period leading up to sunrise, the citizens should remain mindful of the colder conditions that can deceive, making the "wet" roads potentially hazardous. Caution is urged for early morning commuters, as the invisible ice can be a danger to those unaware. For the latest weather updates and alerts, visit the National Weather Service website.
