Metro Detroit weather: Below freezing temperatures create slick spots on roads

Watch out for black ice on roads Tuesday evening

DETROIT – Fog has developed in some areas Tuesday evening and that moisture -- acting in concert with below freezing temperatures -- has created some slick spots, especially on bridges and overpasses.

A winter weather advisory has been issued for Wayne, Oakland and Washtenaw counties until 4 a.m. due to the freezing drizzle and hazardous travel conditions. We have received word of numerous crashes in various areas across Metro Detroit.
