RISKS OF ICE ON ROADWAYS REMAIN SUNDAY MIDDAY

From the NWS: Winter Weather Advisories have been updated to include portions of the I-95 corridor from Fairfax to Prince William . Advisories have been canceled for portions of the Shenandoah Valley and the I-81 corridor where temperatures have risen above freezing. #DCwx #MDwx #VAwx #WVwx

The Virginia Department of Transportation urges drivers to watch out for icy spots on roadways throughout the Commonwealth Sunday morning. Low overnight temperatures have caused re-freezing of any moisture on roadways and freezing rain remains a risk in areas along interstates 81 and 66 in the northern and northwest regions of Virginia. 

Less traveled roads, shady spots, ramps and bridges are likely to freeze first. Motorists are reminded to keep speeds slow and to use caution when traveling the Commonwealth.

VDOT crews will be staged in impacted regions to treat icy patches and slick spots to improve motorist traction. Teams will patrol and monitor road conditions until temperatures improve Sunday.
