Freezing rain could create black ice across southwest Iceland

A high risk of black ice is forecast for southwest Iceland tomorrow, especially in upland areas in the south and west, mbl.is reports, citing a meteorologist at the road administration. Isolated spots on Reykjanes and in the capital region could also become extremely slippery.

Snow is expected to begin tomorrow morning in fairly light southerly winds. Temperatures will gradually rise, and precipitation will mostly turn to sleet and then rain.

But the wind may be too light to displace cold air in some places. Where precipitation continues, freezing rain could fall in the afternoon and create black ice.
