First Snow Expected In Md., Storm Warnings And Weather Advisories Issued
BALTIMORE (WJZ) - The National Weather Service says parts of southern Maryland will be under a Winter Storm Warning tonight through Saturday afternoon/evening, and the rest of the state will be under a Winter Weather Advisory.
The storm warning affects Dorchester, Wicomico, Somerset, Calvert, Charles and St. Mary's counties and starts at 7 p.m. Friday. The Weather Advisory starts at midnight.
WJZ Meteorologist Tim Williams says some in central Maryland could see up to four inches of precipitation, while others will see less than an inch.
"We could see a little heavier accumulation as we get toward the lower eastern shore and it starts to taper off as you start to get farther away, out to the west of the metro area," Williams says.
Residents are being advised to be prepared for snow covered roads and limited visibility, and are urged to use caution while driving.
