Freezing temperatures could lead to slippery morning commute

Forecasters say low temperatures early Wednesday morning could produce freezing fog and black ice for the morning commute.

Overnight temperatures dropped to the mid to upper 20s around the Puget Sound, but so far the Washington State Department of Transportation hasn’t noticed slippery commute conditions.

It’s the first time it has been cold enough for the road to freeze or for frost on your lawn this season, according National Weather Service Meteorologist Ted Beuhner.

KING 5 meteorologist Jeff Renner says after a chilly morning, the sun will come out, but temperatures will hover in the mid 40s.
