That’s despite temperatures close to 50 today.

Temperatures will drop into the 20s tonight, and whatever melted will freeze—and make early Tuesday potentially very slick, for folks heading to work or school. the weather service cautions.

The NWS specifically writes, “runoff from snow melt will refreeze tonight and patchy black ice will form as temperatures drop below the freezing mark and into the 20s.

“Untreated roads and sidewalks will become slick and icy. Motorists and pedestrians should exercise caution tonight as travel may be treacherous in spots,” according to the National Weather Service statement.

Temperatures should dip to 31 degrees by 11p.m., according to accuweather.com, and then down into the mid 20s. It will start to climb back up at 3 a.m.; but by 8 a.m. it’ll still be only 35 degrees. By 10 a.m. it’ll be 39 and everything will start re-melting.

More melting will continue this week as temps will reach 50 on Wednesday, but then we could get another dose of winter by the weekend. A snow/rain mix is possible beginning late Friday and it could continue all the way into Sunday morning, the National Weather Service states.

We’ll have more on that, but for now enjoy the warmer temperatures and be careful driving and walking tomorrow.
