Widespread frost and freezing fog settled across parts of the region on Saturday morning as ongoing cold health alerts remained in effect, bringing hazardous travel conditions and biting temperatures.

According to meteorologists, the crisp and freezing start to the weekend is slated to transition quickly. While Saturday opened under sub-zero chills and dense fog, forecasts indicate a pronounced shift as a milder, wetter weather system approaches.

BBC News reports that the weekend serves as a stark example of weather of two halves, with Saturday's cold morning giving way to wetter and noticeably milder conditions by Sunday. Public health officials continue to advise residents to remain cautious during the ongoing cold alerts, particularly during early morning travel.
