Wednesday, February 5, 6AM
The NWS has issued Winter Weather Advisories across all of central MD, and Ice Storm Warnings out to the west. During the day today, things should be fine. Some spotty areas of mixed precipitation may develop, but would have little impact. Later this evening, the precipitation becomes steadier, and there may even be a brief period of heavy, mixed sleet, snow, and freezing rain overnight. Temperatures will be just below freezing, so icing will be spotty on main roads, but ramps, bridges, and sidewalks would be worse. Temperatures will climb to above freezing tomorrow morning, but cold air can be stubborn so we may have to be patient. I suspect there will be delays in the morning with a reevaluation, but hopefully most areas rise above freezing quickly enough to get at least a half day of school in.
Another mixed system possible for Saturday, and another system to watch for Tuesday/Wednesday next week.
