HAMPTON ROADS, Va. (WAVY) - The Virginia Department of Transportation is working to make roadways safe in preparation for possible freezing rain Monday.
A hazardous weather outlook has been issued for several areas in Hampton Roads. The National Weather Service says a brief period of freezing rain is possible in Sussex, Surry, James City, York, Southampton, Isle of Wight, Newport News and Hampton.
