Maryland Weather: Snow Storm Pushing Across Maryland Sunday Morning
BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory from 1p.m. Sunday to 1a.m on Monday for most of Maryland.
The First Alert Weather Team is tracking the storm as it moves into our region.
This advisory comes as we are already dealing with bone chilling conditions.
That would be chilly enough but unfortunately the brisk north wind will make it feel like the upper teens.
Another frigid night is in store, with a forecast low of 15° for Baltimore.
Sunday and Monday's alerts are because of significant impacts due to a winter storm.
A Nor'Easter will bring snow to northern and central Maryland on Sunday afternoon.
It looks like flakes will arrive in the Baltimore area around 3 or 4.
Snowfall rates of 1-2" an hour are possible.
Western Maryland is looking at accumulations between 6-12", with some higher totals possible where the heaviest bad set up.
That's because they will see an all snow, or at least mainly snow event.
Totals drop off further east because warm air will nudge in and change the snow to a wintry mix followed by rain.
There is the potential for a significant ice event from the mountains of western Maryland towards I-95.
Dangerous travel is possible depending on the intensity of the precipitation.
The heavy rain for areas east of I-95 could lead to minor flooding.
Most of Maryland will dry out between 5-7 AM but Western Maryland could see snow continuing into midday.
Winds will also be a factor with wind gusts of 50 MPH possible as the storm tracks through and blustery conditions continuing in the wake of the system.
