Reminder: any remaining moisture on the roads today will refreeze overnight and create dangerous road conditions. Black ice is especially dangerous when it's dark, so please stay inside and off the roads overnight and throughout tomorrow.
Stay safe, stay warm, and stay inside!

Black ice will be likely overnight and Monday morning as temperatures drop into the 20s across much of north and central GA and lingering ice and water refreeze on roadways.
Furthermore, wind chills are expected to be in the teens and single digits early Monday morning. #gawx
