The National Weather Service issued an updated weather alert at 6:24 p.m. on Wednesday for black ice until Thursday at 9 a.m. The alert is for Person, Granville, Vance, Guilford, Alamance, Orange, Durham, Davidson, Randolph, Chatham, Stanly, Montgomery, Moore, Anson and Richmond counties.

“Areas of black ice and patches of snow cover will create slippery conditions on roads, bridges, and sidewalks. Slow down and use caution while driving. If you are going outside, watch your first few steps taken on stairs, sidewalks, and driveways. These surfaces could be icy and slippery, increasing your risk of fall and injury,” says the NWS.
