Icy Road Conditions Possible Monday Morning

BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- Drivers: use caution. Icy road conditions are possible overnight Sunday into Monday morning.

Overnight temperatures are expected to drop into the upper 20s to right around freezing. This, combined with Sunday's rainfall could result in icy spots, especially on untreated roads and sidewalks.

Parts of Maryland were under a freezing rain advisory until 12 p.m. Sunday and those conditions were blamed for a slew of accidents.
