...MAJOR WINTER STORM WILL IMPACT THE REGION THROUGH THIS EVENING...
.A large area of precipitation will overrun Arctic air in place over
the Mid-Atlantic. This will lead to widespread sleet across the
region, with the potential for ice today, especially south of
Highway 50 and near and east of Interstate 95. In addition to the
high threat for significant snow, sleet, and ice, very cold
temperatures are expected tonight through much of the week with
sub-zero wind chills likely at times.
* WHAT...Heavy mixed precipitation. Additional sleet accumulations
up to one inch and ice accumulations up to two tenths of an inch.
* WHERE...Portions of southern Maryland and central and northern
Virginia.
* WHEN...Until 4 AM EST Monday.
* IMPACTS...Plan on slippery road conditions.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Sleet will continue today, possibly becoming
moderate to heavy at times. During the late afternoon to evening,
sleet will likely shift to freezing rain. Some chance for
significant icing cannot be ruled out across far southern
Maryland. A prolonged period of very cold wind chills continues
this evening and lasting through much of the week.

Coastal Waters Forecast
National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC
FOR THE TIDAL POTOMAC AND MD PORTION OF THE CHESAPEAKE BAY.
Tidal Potomac River and Maryland portion of Chesapeake Bay. Forecasts of wave heights do not include effects of wind direction relative to tidal currents. Expect higher waves when winds are blowing against the tidal flow. Waves flat where waters are iced over. With Arctic high pressure to the north, a coastal low pressure system will lift up the Eastern Seaboard into early Monday morning. Another strong dome of high pressure begins to settle to the south by Tuesday before a clipper system tracks across the waters by mid- week. Gale conditions are likely across portions of the waters Monday into Monday night. Small Craft Advisories will likely be needed in response to this clipper system during the middle to latter portions of the week.
