...POTENTIAL WINTER COMMUTING HAZARD FOR THE BALTIMORE MD/ 

WASHINGTON DC METRO AREAS WEDNESDAY MORNING...



There is a potential for hazardous commuting conditions for the

Wednesday morning commute. A period of accumulating snow is 

POSSIBLE Wednesday morning across the Baltimore MD/Washington DC 

metro areas, with up to an inch of snow accumulation possible on 

area roads, with the highest chances north and west of Interstate 

95.



If this threat does materialize during the Wednesday morning 

rush-hour, many roads could quickly turn slippery and visibility

may be reduced. This could lead to dangerous traveling 

conditions, multiple accidents, and extensive delays.



If commuting Wednesday 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.
