Overview
- Advisories begin as early as 10 a.m. Friday across multiple counties in Maryland and northern Virginia, lasting into Friday night.
- Snow totals are generally expected to stay near an inch or less, with the primary hazard coming from freezing rain and glaze.
- Northern Maryland could see roughly 0.1 to 0.4 inches of ice accumulation, creating very slippery roads and sidewalks.
- The National Weather Service says travel is strongly discouraged and urges drivers to carry supplies and prepare for possible power outages.
- Maryland State Highway Administration crews will monitor pavement and air temperatures and salt as needed, with officials flagging early impacts west around 7–8 a.m. and a wintry mix near the I‑95 corridor between 11 a.m. and noon, as AAA anticipates heavy post‑holiday traffic.
