Special Weather Statement
There is a potential for hazardous commuting conditions for the
morning commute. A period of light snow is POSSIBLE (a 30 percent
chance) Wednesday morning across the Baltimore / Washington metro
areas as well as northeast and southern Maryland, with a light
coating of snow accumulation possible on area roads.
If this threat does materialize during the morning rush-hour,
many roads could quickly turn icy. This could lead to dangerous
traveling conditions, multiple accidents, and extensive delays.
If commuting this morning, be aware of the POSSIBILITY of
significant travel disruptions. Plan ahead by allowing for extra
travel time, and consider using public transportation and telework
options.
Stay tuned for updates on this potential winter weather episode.

Hazardous travel is expected during the Tuesday morning commute with
a plowable snowfall expected. Mixed precipitation is likely near the

* WHERE...Adams, Columbia, Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin, Lancaster,
Lebanon, Schuylkill, and York Counties.
* WHEN...Until 9 AM EST this morning.
* IMPACTS...Low visibility could make driving conditions hazardous.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...A light glaze of ice from freezing fog could
also result in hazardous driving conditions through the morning
commute especially on bridges and overpasses.
From: Nov 20, 2025 09:51
Until: Nov 20, 2025 14:00
Special Weather Statement
Patchy fog has developed this morning across the area. While the
fog is not expected to be widespread, it could become locally
dense with visibilities under one quarter mile. Use caution when
traveling and be prepared for changes in visibility.
From: Nov 20, 2025 07:17
Until: Nov 20, 2025 14:00
Special Weather Statement
Locally dense fog will reduce visibility to a quarter mile or less
in spots through the night. At the same time, many locations are
near or even below the freezing mark. This may lead to slick spots
on roads, especially bridges and overpasses, and on sidewalks.
If traveling, be prepared for changes in visibility over a short
distance, and also for a thin layer of ice that may be difficult
to recognize.
The fog will dissipate and visibility will steadily improve in the
morning.
From: Nov 20, 2025 02:29
Until: Nov 20, 2025 10:00
Special Weather Statement
The combination of 10-hour fuel moistures around 7 to 9 percent,
relative humidities around 15 to 25 percent (except 30 to 35
percent for much of Maryland), and wind gusts around 20 to 30 mph
(locally up to 40 mph for northern/higher elevation areas) will
lead to an increased risk for the rapid spread of wildfires today.
This follows a night of poor relative humidity recoveries, despite
high temperatures only reaching into the lower 50s.
The most favorable overlap of dry fuel moisture, lowest relative
humidity, and highest wind gusts is expected over eastern West
Virginia into northern Virginia. To the south, winds will be
lighter, but humidity will be lower. To the north and west, winds
will be higher, but humidity will also be relatively higher.
Residents and visitors are urged to properly dispose of cigarette
butts, matches, and any other flammable items in appropriate
containers. Additionally, exercise caution if operating any
equipment that could create sparks and keep vehicles off of dry
grass. Most dry grasses, dead leaves, and other tree litter could
easily ignite and spread fire quickly.
Lastly, remember to obey local burn bans. For more information about
wildfire danger, burn restrictions, and wildfire prevention and
education, please visit your state forestry or environmental
protection website.

From: Nov 17, 2025 06:48
Until: Nov 17, 2025 23:00
Special Weather Statement
There is an elevated risk for fire spread today for the eastern
shore of Maryland. Minimum relative humidity values will fall
into the 30 to 35 percent range early this afternoon. This will
be accompanied by cool and dry northwest winds of 15 to 20 mph
with 30 to 35 mph gusts. These conditions, along with the
continued drying of fine fuels, could support the rapid spread of
any fires that ignite, which could quickly become difficult to
control. Relative humidities will begin to increase towards
evening and winds will decrease after sunset.
Outdoor burning is strongly discouraged. Be sure to properly
extinguish or dispose of any potential ignition sources, including
smoking materials such as cigarette butts.
This forecast considers meteorological, fuel, and land conditions
and has been developed in coordination with state fire officials.
From: Nov 17, 2025 08:16
Until: Nov 17, 2025 18:00
Special Weather Statement
The combination of 10-hour fuel moistures around 8 to 10 percent,
minimum relative humidities around 30 to 35 percent, and
northwesterly wind gusts around 40 to 50 mph will lead to an
increased risk for the rapid spread of wildfires today.
Temperatures will reach the middle 50s around midday before
dropping. Poor RH recoveries are expected tonight, especially over
the higher elevations.
Residents and visitors are urged to properly dispose of cigarette
butts, matches, and any other flammable items in appropriate
containers. Additionally, exercise caution if operating any
equipment that could create sparks and keep vehicles off of dry
grass. Most dry grasses, dead leaves, and other tree litter could
easily ignite and spread fire quickly.
