Don’t let the lack of precipitation on the radar fool you.

Some of the storms that have dissipated this afternoon will likely reintensify later this evening bringing rain to the area, said 6News Chief Meteorologist Matt Elwell. Still, Elwell said the likelihood of an ice storm is pretty remote.

“There’s going to be slick spots, but I’m not worried about a major ice event,” he said. “There’ll be some ice, especially on bridges, but it’s not likely power lines or trees are coming down.”

Elwell said bridges temperatures are current between 35 and 36 degrees, just on the edge of when you’d expect ice to begin forming. Overnight lows are expected to be about 30 degrees, driving the bridge temperatures down somewhat.

There’s a possibility the precipitation will turn to snow in the pre-dawn hours Friday morning, Elwell said.

City officials had urged residents to stay off the roads earlier today — even urging them to get lunch early — because the ice would make road treatments less effective.

Some closings were also reported.

Sometime later, however, city officials said that because the storm line had broken up, roads wouldn’t be in nearly as bad of shape as they had expected.
