Special Weather Statement

Special Weather Statement issued January 18 at 11:37PM EST by NWS Columbia SC
Jan 18, 11:37 PM Jan 19, 8:00 AM
Lingering moisture and puddles from earlier rainfall will create
patchy black ice on area roads during the overnight and early
morning hours. Icy spots could form on paved surfaces such as
bridges and overpasses, primary and secondary roads, parking lots,
sidewalks and driveways.

Some isolated areas of freezing fog are also possible overnight
and in the early morning which could lead to some additional
slick spots, especially on elevated roadways.

If you plan to drive or walk, remain alert for black ice. Slow your driving speed and use care when walking on sidewalks, driveways or parking lots. Slips and falls constitute a leading cause of injuries during winter weather.
