Special Weather Statement
The combination of drying fine fuels, relative humidities around
20 to 30 percent, and wind gusts around 20 to 25 mph will lead to
an increased risk for the rapid spread of wildfires today.
Following modest early morning relative humidity recovery, the
conditions most conducive to fire spread are expected from late
morning through early evening (roughly 10 AM to 8 PM EDT).
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.

Special Weather Statement
A line of showers is moving across Northeast Maryland early this
morning. Around 15 minutes of light precipitation is occurring in
any given location as this line moves through from west to east.
Most locations have temperatures above freezing and are
experiencing plain rain. However, a few locations have dropped
back to at or slightly below freezing, and could experience a very
brief period of freezing rain. This line of light showers should
clear Northeast Maryland by 3 AM.
With temperatures right around freezing, elevated surfaces such
as roofs, cartops, and deck railings may get a light glaze of ice
on them. Use extra caution if traveling on untreated surfaces,
especially elevated ones like bridges and overpasses as slick
spots are possible.

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

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.
