A "Freezing Rain Advisory" is issued by meteorological agencies to warn the public about expected freezing rain conditions. This type of weather occurs when rain falls through a layer of cold air and freezes upon contact with surfaces, creating a layer of ice. This can lead to hazardous conditions on roads, sidewalks, and other surfaces. During a Freezing Rain Advisory, it is important to take precautions, such as avoiding travel if possible and being cautious when walking outside. The advisory helps people prepare for potential dangers associated with icy conditions, ensuring safety for everyone in affected areas.
