A Head’s Up for Monday AM

It probably won’t happen, but I just wanted folks to be aware that there is a slight chance of light freezing rain for Monday mornings commute mainly for areas east of 95. The NWS issued the following special weather statement which sums up the potential.

…POTENTIAL WINTER COMMUTING HAZARD FOR THE BALTIMORE METROPOLITAN AREA AND FOR LOCATIONS EAST OF INTERSTATE 95 IN CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN MARYLAND MONDAY MORNING… There is a potential for hazardous commuting conditions for the Monday morning commute. A period of freezing drizzle or light freezing rain is POSSIBLE (a 30 percent chance) Monday morning across the Baltimore Metropolitan area, northeast Maryland, and for central and southern Maryland east of Interstate 95, with a light glaze possible on area roads. If this threat does materialize during the Monday morning rush-hour, many roads could quickly turn icy. This could lead to dangerous traveling conditions, multiple accidents, and extensive delays. If commuting Monday 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
