Special Weather Statement
A line of snow showers will likely pass through the area along a
cold front between 2 AM and 4 AM overnight. The heavier snow
showers will last about 10 to 20 minutes with visibilities locally
reduced to near one-half mile. Snow may coat the ground and
temperatures will quickly fall below freezing behind this line.
Therefore, any wet or slushy untreated surfaces may become icy
into Thursday morning.
Please use extra caution if you are travelling during this time.
Drive slowly and leave plenty of distance between you and the
vehicle in front of you so you are prepared for any sudden changes
in visibility.

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.

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 overrun 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 to the south of I-70.
* WHERE...Portions of central, north-central, and northern Maryland
and northern Virginia.
* WHEN...From noon Friday to midnight EST Friday Night.
* IMPACTS...Plan on slippery road conditions. The hazardous
conditions will impact the Friday evening commute.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Precipitation is likely to overspread the
area by midday Friday in the form of sleet or freezing rain.
Freezing rain with some sleet mixing in will continue through the
afternoon and evening. A bit more sleet can be expected closer to
the Maryland-Pennsylvania border. Through the day, temperatures
are expected to remain close to 32 degrees. Precipitation exits
off to the northeast with some light drizzle or freezing drizzle
possibly lingering into the early overnight hours.
