...POTENTIAL WINTER COMMUTING HAZARD FOR THE BALTIMORE MD/
WASHINGTON DC METRO AREAS WEDNESDAY MORNING...

There is a potential for hazardous commuting conditions for the
Wednesday morning commute. A period of accumulating snow is
POSSIBLE (30 percent chance) Wednesday morning across the
Baltimore MD/Washington DC metro areas, with up to an inch of
snow accumulation possible on area roads, with the highest chances
north and west of Interstate 95.

If this threat does materialize during the Wednesday morning
rush-hour, many roads could quickly turn slippery and visibility
may be reduced. This could lead to dangerous traveling
conditions, multiple accidents, and extensive delays.

If commuting Wednesday morning, 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.
