Icy conditions for Tuesday morning commute (Photos)

WASHINGTON — D.C.-area drivers should brace for icy conditions on roads, ramps, bridges and overpasses Tuesday morning.

A developing coastal low pressure to the southeast brings wet, raw and icy conditions Tuesday, says ABC7 Meteorologist Brian van de Graaff.

Temperatures are hovering around freezing Tuesday morning and there has been a light wintry mix with rain, freezing rain and some snow in the higher elevations.

A light glazing of ice is possible west of Interstate 95 through the Tuesday morning rush hour — especially of concern are elevated surfaces such as bridges and overpasses, van de Graaff says.

Other problem areas include the I-495 express ramps at Route 7, and parts of I-70 and I-270.

SEC joins Big Ten in banning pros from returning to college, including basketball players

The Southeastern Conference passed a rule Tuesday banning players who have been drafted by NFL, NBA or WNBA teams or listed on rosters in those leagues, joining the Big Ten in taking a strong stand against this month's unexpected surge of pro players trying to return to college. The SEC's rule differs from the one adopted by the Big Ten, which only included football in its decision released earlier in the day. Combined, it leaves little doubt about where the nation's two biggest conferences stand in the wake of court orders that were allowing players who had been on pro rosters, then released, to return back to college. The SEC rule puts LSU on notice. This week, Tigers coach Lane Kiffin added Dae’Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris, a pair of undrafted players out of Mississippi who had tryouts in the NFL over the summer, but were released by their teams during training camp.
