A winter storm is moving into the state at this time, with snow overspreading the area. The snow will continue for the next few hours, becoming more widespread and steadier by late morning.

The snow will change over to sleet and then freezing rain from southeast to northwest through the afternoon hours.

Several inches of snow and sleet accumulation is possible, mainly from the I-95 corridor north and west. South and east of there, warmer air will turn the snow and sleet over to freezing rain and then plain rain quicker, limiting snow and ice accumulation.

In central and northern Maryland, the snow and sleet will become freezing rain by this evening and will likely last into tonight before tapering off late tonight.

There is the possibility of significant ice accumulation, especially north and west of the cities where up to .25″ of ice is possible.

For the I-95 corridor, ice accumulation between .10″ and .25″ is possible as well.

The wintry mix and ice accumulation will make driving very difficult this afternoon and evening. Untreated surfaces will glaze over quickly, especially as the sun goes down. Be very careful when venturing out later today or tonight.
