As a band of light precipitation tracks into the region between 8 a.m. and 11 a.m. this morning, some pockets of freezing rain will be possible, possibly leading to icy ground surfaces. Untreated ground surfaces will be most susceptible to locally icy conditions this morning as the precipitation moves through. Motorists and pedestrians should remain vigilant to the possibility of icy ground surfaces this morning as the precipitation moves through,” states the weather service.
