Special Weather StatementModerateDistrict of Columbia; Washington; Frederick; Carroll; Northern Baltimore; Cecil; Southern Baltimore; Prince Georges; Anne Arundel; Charles; St. Marys; Calvert; Central and Eastern Allegany; Northwest Montgomery; Central and Southeast Montgomery; Northwest Howard; Central and Southeast Howard; Northwest Harford; Southeast Harford; Augusta; Rockingham; Shenandoah; Frederick; Page; Warren; Clarke; Nelson; Albemarle; Greene; Madison; Rappahannock; Orange; Culpeper; Fairfax; Arlington/Falls Church/Alexandria; Stafford; Spotsylvania; King George; Northern Fauquier; Southern Fauquier; Eastern Highland; Western Loudoun; Eastern Loudoun; Northern Virginia Blue Ridge; Central Virginia Blue Ridge; Northwest Prince William; Central and Southeast Prince William/Manassas/Manassas Park; Hampshire; Morgan; Berkeley; Jefferson; Hardy; Eastern Grant; Eastern Mineral; Eastern PendletonA strong cold front moves across the area Thursday morning, then 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. 2024-12-05T03:00:00-05:00

Special Weather StatementModerateFrederick; CarrollThere 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. 2024-12-05T03:00:00-05:00
