Hazardous road conditions are developing across the Ohio Valley as freezing drizzle and patchy winter precipitation continue to affect the region. With temperatures expected to drop into the low 20s tonight, there is an increased risk of black ice forming on untreated roadways.
The National Weather Service (NWS) in Wilmington is advising residents in areas like Dayton, Springfield, and Columbus to remain cautious as slippery conditions are anticipated to persist through Friday morning. Untreated roads and sidewalks are particularly hazardous and could lead to accidents. Drivers are urged to slow down and allow extra time to reach their destinations.
