The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for ice accumulation of a tenth to two tenths of an inch and the potential of snow accumulations.  Winds are expected to gust between 25 to 30 MPH which will add to the hazardous conditions tonight.  Temperatures have warmed up above freezing today causing the ice on the roadways to melt.  As temperatures are starting to drop, the roads will become slick again ahead of additional freezing precipitation and snow.
