There is a high likelihood of at least 5 inches of snow, with over 10 inches possible. Ice accumulation is also possible. * WHERE...DC, and portions of central, northeast, northern, and southern Maryland, and central and northern Virginia. * WHEN...From Saturday evening through Monday morning. * IMPACTS...Travel could be very difficult. The hazardous conditions could impact the Monday morning commute. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Snow will likely overspread the area Saturday evening, becoming heavy at times late Saturday night with rates of one to two inches per hour possible at times. A mix with sleet or freezing rain is possible Sunday. Significant icing is possible especially south of Highway 50. Visibility of one-quarter mile or less is 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. A cold front will cross the region this afternoon with a stronger front Friday morning into Friday afternoon. Arctic high pressure will build across the Midwest, Great Lakes and Northeast this weekend as low pressure develops and lifts up from the south. Small Craft Advisories will likely be needed Friday into the weekend. Gale conditions are possible across the southern waters late Friday night.
