- We anticipate a blast of arctic air moving in overnight, and a large decrease in temperatures.
- Please take caution as the precipitation combined with low temperatures can create road hazards.
- Slick spots may develop, particularly in areas that received recent rainfall, and freezing rain may occur and produce a glaze of ice.

- Veterans, caregivers, and family members are encouraged to use discretion and take precautions to remain safe during inclement weather.
