much colder and windy conditions quickly develop into Thursday night.
For areas along and west of the Blue Ridge Mountains, a period of
snow showers, possibly mixed with some rain, is likely Thursday
morning between 3 AM to 6 AM. For areas east of the Blue Ridge, a
mix of rain and snow showers is likely between 5 AM to 8 AM.
Additional light snow showers are possible through late morning.
In areas along and west of the Blue Ridge and in north-central
Maryland, near freezing temperatures could allow some of this snow
to stick on roadways, possibly creating slick conditions. Commuters
Thursday morning should allow extra time to reach their destination,
and use extra caution when driving through any snow shower.
Windy conditions quickly develop around or just after sunrise
Thursday morning, and continue through Thursday evening. Wind gusts
of 45 to 55 mph are expected across the area, with up to 60 mph
possible. These strong winds could result in downed trees and power
lines.
Those outdoors Thursday morning will notice a rapid decrease in
temperature when those strong winds begin. The strong winds and cold
temperatures will produce wind chills in the teens to low 20s the
entire day, even in sunnier conditions during the afternoon. It is
important to wear appropriate clothing to avoid frostbite and
hypothermia. Take needed actions to protect yourself, children,
pets, plants, and pipes from the cold.

Text Link | Special Weather Statement | Moderate | Frederick; Carroll | There is a potential for hazardous commuting conditions for the
Thursday morning commute. A period of snow showers or squalls is
POSSIBLE (a 50 percent chance) Thursday morning across the far
northwest suburbs of Baltimore / Washington, especially over
higher elevations such as Parr's Ridge and the Catoctin Mountains
where up to around an inch of snow accumulation is possible on
area roads.
If this threat does materialize during the Thursday morning rush-
hour, many roads could quickly turn icy. This could lead to
dangerous traveling conditions, multiple accidents, and extensive
delays.
If commuting Thursday 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.
