Including the cities of... Allendale... Hampton... Walterboro... Millen... Sylvania... Metter... Statesboro... Springfield... Savannah... Tybee Island... Ridgeland... Beaufort... Hilton Head... Edisto Beach... Jasper
Much colder air will usher in as high pressure builds south tonight. Temperatures will drop below freezing later this evening... then reach a low temperature into the 20s sunday morning. Patchy drizzle is expected through this evening which may begin to freeze on contact once temperatures drop below freezing. Ice accumulations on elevated surfaces should be less than one or two hundredths of an inch which should not cause significant concern.
In addition to the freezing drizzle possibility... water from recent rains may freeze to form dangerous icy patches on some road surfaces. Since ground temperatures are rather warm... icy patches on surface streets should be isolated. However significant icing is possible on bridges... overpasses... and other elevated roadways. Road ice is nearly impossible to see at night... enhancing the danger to unsuspecting motorists. Conditions should improve after daybreak
Sunday morning once temperatures rise above freezing.
Motorists should prepare for slick spots on area roads overnight. Be alert for black ice that is nearly impossible to see at night. Reduce your speed and be especially cautious on elevated roadways.
