The wintry mix of precipitation is winding down across the area this evening thanks to some dry air eroding away the precipitation shield attempting to track north out of Iowa.

Despite the downtrend in precipitation extent, hazardous and icy roads will still continue to be a concern through the remainder of this evening and tonight, with temperatures near the surface remaining just below or around freezing until late Sunday morning.

A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY remains in effect until midnight tonight for most of the ABC 6 viewing area, with Worth, Winnebago, Cerro Gordo and Hancock counties being the exception.

Additional ice and snow accumulation, if any at all, will remain minor, with perhaps just a couple hundredths of an inch for most locations.

Freezing fog becomes a concern late tonight into Sunday morning. Light southeasterly winds will allow the damp air in place across the area to remain on the stagnant side, creating favorable conditions for fog. Dense fog is certainly possible, and with temperatures just around to slightly below freezing, some of that fog will likely freeze to road surfaces.

With that said, slick road conditions are expected into Sunday morning given the chance for freezing fog. The bottom line is take it slow out on the roads when driving, and allow yourself extra time to get where you need to go.

Also remember that just because road conditions are fine in some locations, that does not mean they are fine in all locations. Slicks spots and black ice can creep up on you fast, so being mindful of the changing conditions is the best way to get where you need to go safely.

Have a great Saturday evening everyone, stay safe out there!
