...A few slick spots possible overnight...

Patchy drizzle and fog have developed across eastern Kentucky 
this evening, especially over higher terrain. At higher
elevations, temperatures are hovering around freezing, resulting
in the potential for a light glaze of ice accumulation from
freezing drizzle.

Additionally, a few sheltered valleys and hollows may have travel 
surface temperatures at or slightly below freezing. Isolated 
instances of black ice are possible in these areas, especially 
where roads are untreated. 

Travelers are encouraged to treat all damp or wet roads as having
the potential for black ice, even where air temperatures are 
slightly above freezing. Increase following distance, and avoid 
accelerating or sharp braking through curves and intersections.
