The Conditions column states the road surface over one day, reading it off the freezing risk beside it: freezing (at least 60 %), borderline (50–60 %) or above freezing (under 50 %). The map's colour looks at the whole period, so a single day can differ from it. The road figure is the day's lowest estimate, not the air temperature. Today's row covers the rest of the day, not the whole day as the Today section above does. On a clear night the road surface cools below the air, so there can be ice while the air is still above zero. How this forecast is calculated.
