A First Alert Weather Day has been declared for Thursday due to a prolonged hard freeze during the morning hours.

Black ice is most dangerous in the early morning due to below freezing nighttime temperatures. Potholes are a common road hazard following winter precipitation and can be difficult to see and can cause serious damage to your vehicle. Be sure to report potholes to your county or local department of transportation.

Because of the cold front that came through last night, air temperatures are starting out in the single digits with wind chills as low as -10° to -20° out the door this morning. This afternoon, wind chills will hover between 0° to -5°. Air temps will top out between 10-15° this afternoon. Today will be considerably more sunny than yesterday.

A First Alert Weather Day remains in effect through Wednesday morning due to continuing dangerous "feels-like" temperatures. By Wednesday afternoon, highs will still be chilly but will warm well above freezing,

Meteorologist Devon Lucie shows us how to walk on icy paths over the next few days then breaks down the thaw and refreeze regime on how long it will last and how long it will keep dangerous, icy conditions in our forecast,

The extreme cold is firmly in the past. Today remains our best chance for snow for the rest of the week. A couple slick spots cannot be ruled out depending on how much snow your community picks up, but we have had much worse road conditions this Winter.
