Monday morning is expected to bring a mix of rain/snow showers and slushy accumulations. Click here for details. Before you head out the door Monday morning we have some driving safety advice from AAA:

• Drive slowly. There’s lower traction on the road with slush or snow.
• Accelerate and decelerate slowly. This will help you stay in control and avoid skids.
• Increase your following distance to five or six seconds. More space will provide a longer distance and more time if you need to stop unexpectedly.
• Know your brakes. Keep the heel of your foot on the floor and use the ball of your foot to apply firm, steady pressure on the brake pedal.
• Check your tires. Make sure they’re inflated and have tread.
• Keep at least half a tank of gas in your car at all times. Otherwise, condensation could form in your tank — ultimately freezing your fuel lines.
• Never warm-up your car in an enclosed garage or any enclosed area. The build-up of carbon monoxide could be deadly.
• Finally, don’t use cruise control when driving on ice or snow. Drive regularly and slowly to stay in control.
