Ice is possible on the roads this morning, as low temperatures will hinder the ability of salt and de-icing liquids until the sun rises, warming the roads and allowing the substances to fully work. With schools operating on a two hour delay, this gives the roadways enough time to warm up, thaw, and remain safe for parents and buses.
Temperatures will be around 30 degrees today; mostly sunny.
