Maryland – Wet snow clings to cars and rooftops across Baltimore this morning, while slushy pavement slows traffic along I-95 and the Baltimore Beltway. Temperatures hover near 32 degrees, and gusty winds whip flakes sideways in bursts. The morning commute is dealing with slick conditions and reduced visibility.
According to the National Weather Service in Baltimore/Washington, a Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until 10 a.m. for Baltimore, central Maryland, northern Virginia, and Washington, D.C. Additional snow accumulations up to 2 inches are possible. Wind gusts could reach 40 mph, adding blowing snow and making untreated roads slippery.
Bridges and overpasses are the main concern as pavement temperatures sit near freezing. Drivers along I-83, I-695, and U.S. 50 should allow extra time and increase following distance. Even light snow can create quick slick spots, especially where traffic is lighter. As skies gradually clear later, any leftover moisture could refreeze toward evening, raising the risk of flash freezing on untreated surfaces.
Tuesday turns mostly sunny with a high near 35 degrees. Tuesday night drops to around 30, and a mix of snow and rain develops late. By Wednesday, highs climb to 51 degrees with a chance of rain, signaling a sharp shift from winter chill.
Rain chances linger Thursday with highs near 50. By Saturday, sunshine and temperatures in the low 50s return. Longer-range trends favor above-normal readings into early March, offering genuine spring warmth after this late-February snow.
