Winter Storm Watch Issued: Heavy Snow, Hazardous Travel Expected Tuesday Into Wednesday

Updated – The National Weather Service (NWS) Baltimore-Washington office has issued a Winter Storm Watch for the region, warning of heavy snowfall and hazardous travel conditions from Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday morning.

Snowfall Forecast & Timing

Forecasters predict four to six inches of snow, with some areas possibly receiving higher totals.

  • Tuesday Afternoon: Light snow begins across the region.
  • Tuesday Evening into Overnight: Snowfall intensifies, becoming steady and heavy at times.
  • Wednesday Morning: Additional wintry precipitation is possible before tapering off.

Impact on Travel & Commutes

The Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning commutes could be significantly impacted due to slippery and snow-covered roads. Drivers are urged to exercise caution and prepare for reduced visibility and potential delays.

Midweek & Weekend Weather Outlook

The active weather pattern will continue through the week:

  • Wednesday: Snow transitions to a wintry mix, with freezing rain likely in areas west of the Blue Ridge Mountains and a rain/snow mix possible east of the mountains.
  • Weekend: Another storm system may bring heavy rain or a wintry mix, increasing the risk of flooding as rain falls on a snow-covered landscape.
