A few areas of black ice can form in parts of northeastern Pennsylvania and northern New Jersey as rain arrives Friday night. These icy areas will not be widespread, but will be most common on bridges and overpasses, according to the report.

Mild air will flow northward with the storm to switch any ice over to rain in the mid-Atlantic by Saturday midday, according to the report.
