Weather

A period of light snow is possible early Wednesday morning across the Baltimore–Washington metro area, with the greatest concern during the morning commute. There is about a 30% chance of snow, but even a light coating could make roads slick and icy during rush hour. If snow develops, drivers could see slow travel, accidents, and delays before conditions improve later in the morning. Residents are urged to plan ahead, allow extra travel time, and consider telework or public transportation if possible.
