Minimal drying of Sunday's rainfall and below freezing temps will create patchy black ice on area roads, bridges, overpasses, parking lots, sidewalks, driveways, and other paved surfaces. These thin sheets of ice may be difficult to see, especially during the pre-dawn hours. They may appear to be wet spots on the road. Motorists will have a difficult time determining which spots are just wet and which are icy.
