Wakefield, VA – A Winter Weather Advisory continues across Maryland and Virginia Eastern Shore, affecting travel.
According to the National Weather Service in Wakefield, the advisory remains in effect until 1 p.m. EST Monday for Dorchester, Wicomico, Somerset and Inland Worcester counties, as well as the Maryland Beaches. In Virginia, the advisory covers Accomack and Northampton counties.
Forecasters report snow and blowing snow continuing through late morning. Additional snow accumulations of up to one-half inch are possible. Wind gusts could reach as high as 40 mph across Maryland’s Eastern Shore and up to 45 mph across Virginia’s Eastern Shore.
The combination of light snowfall and strong winds is creating slippery road conditions and areas of reduced visibility. Blowing snow may significantly limit sight distance at times, particularly along open roadways and near coastal areas. Gusty winds may also bring down tree branches.
Officials urge drivers to slow down and use caution while traveling. Motorists can call 511 for updated road conditions.
The advisory primarily impacts the Delmarva Peninsula during the late-morning commute period, with improving conditions expected after 1 p.m. as winds gradually ease and snowfall tapers off.
Commuters, students and delivery drivers traveling before early afternoon may encounter brief visibility drops and slick secondary roads.
Drivers are encouraged to allow extra stopping distance and remain alert for sudden wind gusts.
