Forecasters say inland communities and higher elevations are most likely to feel the strongest impact, as temperatures there may stay below freezing for longer stretches. Municipal teams are preparing for potential tree damage, scattered outages, and slower-than-usual travel — particularly during early mornings and late evenings when ice tends to develop rapidly. Although transportation crews plan to pretreat major highways, even a barely visible glaze can make stopping and steering far more difficult. Safety officials recommend reducing speed, increasing following distance, and reconsidering nonessential travel if conditions begin to deteriorate.
