...MAJOR WINTER STORM WILL IMPACT THE REGION THIS EVENING THROUGH
SUNDAY EVENING...

.A large area of precipitation will overrun Arctic air in place over
the Mid-Atlantic. This will lead to widespread significant snow
beginning this evening, with the potential for ice Sunday especially
south of Highway 50 and near and east of Interstate 95. In addition
to the high threat for significant snow and ice, very cold
temperatures are expected tonight through the middle of next week
with sub-zero wind chills likely at times.

* WHAT...Heavy mixed precipitation expected. Total snow and sleet
accumulations between 6 and 10 inches, with up to 14 inches
possible, especially in the far northern and western suburbs of
Washington and Baltimore. Ice accumulations between one and two
tenths of an inch.


* WHERE...DC, portions of central, northeast, and northern Maryland,
and northern Virginia.

* WHEN...From 11 PM this evening to 4 AM EST Monday.

* IMPACTS...Power outages and tree damage are likely due to the ice.
Travel could be nearly impossible. The hazardous conditions could
impact the Monday morning commute.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Snow will likely overspread the area tonight,
becoming heavy at times with rates of one to two inches per hour
possible at times. A mix with sleet or freezing rain is expected
Sunday. Significant icing is possible especially south of Highway
50. Visibility of one-quarter mile or less is possible at times. A
prolonged period of wind chills in the single digits and teens
continues this evening and lasting through the middle of next
week, with sub-zero wind chills possible at times.

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. Arctic high pressure will build across the Midwest, Great Lakes and Northeast this weekend as low pressure develops and lifts up from the south later today into Sunday. Small Craft Advisories will likely be needed throughout the weekend into early next weekend as low pressure passes to the south of the waters. Gale conditions are possible across portions of the waters Monday into Monday night with additional Small Craft Advisories midweek as another front pushes through.
