Herndon Black Ice Alert: Potentially Dangerous Conditions

Once again we missed out on snow, but not the ice it seems. There have been multiple reports of dangerous black ice in the D.C. area, so be careful if you're driving this morning and throughout today.

Twitter user Douglas Errett reported black ice all over local roads in Reston, adding that "it's actually pretty bad even walking."

The Washington Post's Capital Weather Gang also tweeted that there were "lots of icy spots on the roads this morning."

Temperatures are expected to remain cold throughout the day, with a high at 37 and lows plunging into the 20s tonight. With all the rain we got on Sunday, the sudden freeze translates to dangerous road conditions.

Things will warm up later this week, reaching close to 50 on Friday and close to 60 on Sunday, according to Weather.com forecasts. We could get some moisture as well in the form of rain on Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday.
