Special Weather Statement issued January 16 at 2:22AM EST by NWS Charleston WV
Subfreezing temperatures will continue the formation of black ice on area roadways, due to moisture from yesterday's rain and snow.
There have been reports of accidents, particularly in Ritchie, Wood, Wirt and Doddridge counties in northern West Virginia. These conditions are likely occurring in spots elsewhere in the middle Ohio valley and central Appalchians as well.
Black ice is nearly impossible to see and roadways may appear wet.
In addition, snow showers tonight may bring a brief drop in visibility and a coating of snow, hiding the black ice even further and adding to the slippery conditions.
Be prepared for snow or ice covered roads. Slow down and allow extra time when traveling. Please use extreme caution, especially on bridges, overpasses and around curves. Allow plenty of stopping distance and avoid braking suddenly.
