Monday. A light glaze of ice is expected.

* WHERE...Northern Maryland, eastern West Virginia, and the
northern and central Shenandoah Valley.

* WHEN...From 11 AM to 7 PM EST Monday.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Even if air temperatures rise above
freezing, the ground and other surfaces are still extremely

Slow down and use caution while driving. The latest road
conditions can be obtained by calling 5 1 1.
