Some roads could be slippery around D.C. and Baltimore early Thursday, while a significant ice storm is possible in the mountains.
In our colder areas near and west of Route 15, from Warrenton to Leesburg to Frederick, icy precipitation will probably last longer, and there is a greater chance of slick roads and school delays and cancellations. Essentially, the area that includes northern Fauquier County, Loudoun County, western Montgomery County, western Howard County, Frederick County and Carroll County, as well as points to the north and west, have the greatest chance of dealing with disruptive winter weather.
Especially along and west of I-95, we need to watch for the chance that cold air lasts longer than indicated above, prolonging the iciness. Sometimes cold air is stubborn and difficult to dislodge. Throughout the region, a cold, steady rain is probable in the afternoon and evening, with widespread totals of 1 to 2 inches. A few locations, mainly east of Interstate 95, could see over 2 inches. If this precipitation were to fall as all snow, it would be one to two feet! The rain should end between 10 p.m. Thursday and 1 a.m. Friday.Advertisement
A winter storm watch has been issued for the higher elevations of western Virginia, eastern West Virginia and western Maryland. The watch runs from Wednesday evening through Thursday night. A Winter Storm Watch has been issued for areas west of the Blue Ridge from Wed evening into Thursday evening for the potential for significant ice accumulations. Latest:
