ASHEVILLE, N.C. (828newsNOW) — Be careful if you’re going to be driving Sunday.
The National Weather Service said above-freezing temperatures on Saturday allowed the snow, slush and ice to melt. But frigid overnight temperatures allowed for refreezing. Untreated bridges, overpasses and sidewalks will be the most prone to black ice.
Motorists should drive with extra caution. Slow down and leave plenty of room in front of you.
Light westerly winds are expected to develop today across the mountains and southwesterly winds elsewhere. But generally sunny skies are expected, according to the National Weather Service. Highs will be around 10 degrees below normal.
Lows tonight will be 5 to around 10 degrees below normal, with black ice possibly a concern again where roads haven’t dried.
