Temperatures Continue to Rise

Temperatures are now in the upper 30s for most of the area; however, Farmville and Emporia remain in the mid 30s at this hour. Black ice can still linger in shaded areas, so be sure to be careful for at least the next hour. Temperatures should reach the low 40s by 10 AM, so the threat for black ice will quickly diminish.

Patches Of Black Ice Still Possible

Light fog and dew still persists across the area. Luckily temperatures are rising thanks to the sunshine. However, it is still cold enough for black ice to develop on bridges and overpasses, or areas shaded from the sunlight. Conditions will rapidly improve in the next couple hours as temperatures continue to rise into the upper 30s.

Slick Spots To The South

Patches of dense fog have developed in parts of Dinwiddie, Brunswick and Greensville counties. In addition, temperatures in these areas are below freezing. These are perfect conditions for black ice to develop, especially on bridges and overpasses. If at all possible, postpone any travel in these areas until temperature rise above freezing later this morning.
