...POTENTIAL WINTER COMMUTING HAZARD FOR THE FAR NORTHWEST SUBURBS OF BALTIMORE / WASHINGTON THURSDAY MORNING...
There is a potential for hazardous commuting conditions for the Thursday morning commute. A period of snow showers or squalls is POSSIBLE (a 50 percent chance) Thursday morning across the far northwest suburbs of Baltimore / Washington, especially over higher elevations such as Parr's Ridge and the Catoctin Mountains where up to around an inch of snow accumulation is possible on area roads.
If this threat does materialize during the Thursday morning rush- hour, many roads could quickly turn icy. This could lead to dangerous traveling conditions, multiple accidents, and extensive delays.
If commuting Thursday 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.
