Winter Storm Watch
...MAJOR WINTER STORM POSSIBLE THIS WEEKEND...
.A large area of precipitation will overrun Arctic air in place over
the Mid-Atlantic. This will likely lead to widespread significant
snow beginning late Saturday, with the potential for ice Sunday
especially south of Highway 50 and near and east of Interstate 95.
In addition to the high threat for significant snow and ice, very
cold temperatures are expected Friday night through the middle of
next week with sub-zero wind chills likely at times.
* WHAT...Heavy snow mixed with sleet and freezing rain possible.
There is a high likelihood of at least 5 inches of snow, with over
10 inches possible. Ice accumulation is also possible.
* WHERE...Portions of DC, central, northeast, northern, and southern
Maryland, and central and northern Virginia.
* WHEN...From Saturday evening through Monday morning.
* IMPACTS...Travel could be very difficult. The hazardous conditions
could impact the Monday morning commute.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Snow will likely overspread the area Saturday
evening, becoming heavy at times late Saturday night with rates of
one to two inches per hour possible at times. A mix with sleet or
freezing rain is possible Sunday. Significant icing is possible
especially south of Highway 50. Visibility of one-quarter mile or
less is possible at times. A prolonged period wind chills in the
teens and single digits is likely beginning Friday evening and
lasting through the middle of next week, with sub-zero wind chills
possible at times.

Winter Weather Advisory
...A MIXTURE OF FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET TO OVERSPREAD AREAS NORTH OF
I-66/U.S. 50 ON FRIDAY...
.As high pressure builds across Quebec, a steady stream of cold air
will funnel southward into the Mid-Atlantic region. At the same
time, moisture will overrrun a frontal boundary across the central
Appalachians down into the Carolinas. As milder air will settle
above the sub-freezing surface layer, a wintry mix consisting of
freezing rain and sleet is likely over portions of the area. Travel
impacts are likely where the wintry mix falls.
* WHAT...Mixed precipitation expected. Total snow and sleet
accumulations up to one inch and ice accumulations around one
tenth of an inch, with closer to a trace to a few hundredths of an
inch near U.S. 50.
* WHERE...Portions of north central and western Maryland, northwest
Virginia, and eastern panhandle West Virginia.
* WHEN...From 10 AM to 11 PM EST Friday.
* IMPACTS...Plan on slippery road conditions. The hazardous
conditions could impact the Friday evening commute.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Precipitation is likely to overspread the
area late Friday morning in the form of sleet or freezing rain.
Freezing rain with some sleet mixing in will continue through the
afternoon and evening. Through the day, temperatures are expected
to remain close to 32 degrees before warming above freezing during
the overnight hours.

Winter Weather Advisory
...FIRST WIDESPREAD WINTER EVENT OF THE SEASON...
.Precipitation is expected to overspread the area after midnight
tonight from southwest to northeast. While precipitation is likely
to start as snow areawide, it is expected to mix with and change to
sleet and freezing rain for most of the area. Locations along and
south of US-50/I-66 likely end the event as rain as temperatures
warm through the morning. Areas along the Mason-Dixon Line are most
likely to remain all snow through the event, but that remains
uncertain given exact low track. The Tuesday morning commute could
be impacted for all areas in the Winter Weather Advisory. Updates to
the forecast are likely, so please remain weather aware for the
first widespread winter event of the season.
* WHAT...Mixed precipitation expected. Total snow and sleet
accumulations of 1 to 2 inches, with locally higher amounts
upwards of 4 inches possible near the Mason-Dixon Line and higher
elevations such as Parr's Ridge. Ice accumulations up to one tenth
of an inch.
* WHERE...Portions of north central and northern Maryland and
eastern West Virginia.
* WHEN...From 3 AM to 1 PM EST Tuesday.
* IMPACTS...Plan on slippery road conditions. The hazardous
conditions could impact the Tuesday morning commute.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Precipitation is expected to overspread the
area after midnight tonight. Precipitation is expected to start as
snow before mixing with sleet and freezing rain. Should
precipitation stay all snow or snow for a longer period of time,
locally higher snowfall amounts would be possible.
