Some roadways in the region are considered slick this morning, according to the National Weather Service.
Sleet and snow fell across the area overnight and melted quickly because of the warm pavement.
Gusty northerly winds continue to usher in very cold air, as temperatures this morning are generally in the middle 20s to lower 30s.
This steady stream of cold air could cause some roadways to become very slick especially elevated roadways, overpasses and bridges where warm ground temperatures fail to keep those roadways warm enough to prevent icing.
The National Weather Service cautioned drivers to use extreme caution during the morning commute.
Temperatures should rise back to near freezing by this afternoon, but only for a few hours before dropping back to below freezing for this evening.
