...DANGEROUS ROAD CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS MIDDLE
TENNESSEE AGAIN TONIGHT...

WITH SOME LOCATIONS LATE LAST NIGHT AND EARLY THIS MORNING ACROSS
MIDDLE TENNESSEE RECEIVING ADDITIONAL SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS RANGING
FROM A DUSTING TO LOCALIZED AMOUNTS OF UP TO ONE INCH...ADDITIONAL
ROADS MAY BE COVERED WITH SNOWFALL. SOME SECONDARY ROADS...PARKING
LOTS...DRIVEWAYS...SIDEWALKS...ALONG WITH SOME DESIGNATED TURN
LANES AND ROAD SHOULDERS...MAY HAVE RECEIVED ADDITIONAL SNOWFALL
ACCUMULATIONS ALSO. THIS AND PREVIOUS SNOWFALLS WILL CONTINUE TO
HELP COVER ICE THAT HAS FORMED BELOW THE SNOWFALL.

MOST MAIN ROADS CONTINUE TO BE RELATIVELY DRY AND CLEAR OF ICE
ACCUMULATIONS. HOWEVER...WITH TEMPERATURES EXPECTED TO REMAIN WELL
BELOW FREEZING TONIGHT...MELTING OF ANY ICE ACCUMULATIONS IS NOT
EXPECTED.

SOME OF THIS ICE THAT REMAINS IS STILL CONSIDERED TO BE BLACK
ICE...A THIN COATING OF ICE THAT CAN BE NEARLY INVISIBLE BUT VERY
TREACHEROUS. THIS CAN CAUSE YOU TO LOSE CONTROL OF YOUR VEHICLE
VERY QUICKLY. MOTORISTS ARE STRONGLY URGED TO USE EXTREME CAUTION
IF TRAVELING ACROSS MIDDLE TN TONIGHT. REMEMBER TO SLOW DOWN AND
ALLOW EXTRA TIME TO REACH YOUR DESTINATION. EVEN IF YOU ARE
WALKING OUTSIDE...EXTREME CAUTION IS ADVISED DUE TO CONTINUED
BLACK ICE FORMATION...ESPECIALLY FOR THE ELDERLY AND HANDICAPPED.

SKIES WILL CLEAR BY SUNDAY MORNING...ALLOWING FOR SUNSHINE TO POSSIBLY
MELT SOME ICE ON ROADWAYS THAT EXPERIENCE DIRECT SUNSHINE...BUT FOR
THOSE THAT DO NOT AND OTHER SHADED LOCATIONS...TEMPERATURES ARE
EXPECTED TO FINALLY WARM UP ABOVE FREEZING ACROSS THE ENTIRE MID
STATE DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS ON MONDAY...ALLOWING FOR ALL ICE
AND SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS TO BEGIN THE MELTING PROCESS.

PLEASE CONTINUE TO TAKE PRECAUTIONS TO PROTECT LIFE AND PROPERTY
FROM THE BITTER COLD.
