The rest of the state has partly to mostly covered road conditions. The southeastern 1/3rd of the state still has wet roads, as temperatures there are still well above freezing. When the colder air does arrive in the southeastern and eastern parts otf the state, some icy patches may develop on the roads as temperatures drop below freezing.
