There is a potential for hazardous commuting conditions for
this evening's commute between 5 PM and 9 PM. A period of light
snow is POSSIBLE (a 30 percent chance) this evening across the
Washington metro area into central and southern Maryland with a
coating to around one-half inch of snow accumulation possible.

If this threat does materialize during this evening's rush-hour,
any untreated roads could quickly turn snow covered and slippery.
This could lead to dangerous traveling conditions.

If commuting this evening, 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.

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. A reinforcing cold front will pass through tonight. Otherwise high pressure will remain south and west of the area through Friday. Small Craft Advisories may be needed tonight into Thursday. Freezing spray advisories are possible during periods of elevated winds this week. A coastal storm is also possible this weekend. Should it track close enough to the eastern seaboard, Gale Warnings would be possible for the waters this weekend into Monday.
