... POTENTIAL WINTER COMMUTING HAZARD FOR PORTIONS OF THE BALTIMORE AND WASHINGTON DC METRO AREAS WEDNESDAY MORNING... 

There is a potential for hazardous commuting conditions for the Wednesday morning commute. A period of snow is POSSIBLE (a 30 - 40 percent chance) Wednesday morning across portions of the Baltimore and Washington DC metro areas with up to a couple tenths of an inch of accumulation on area roads.

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

If commuting Wednesday morning, be aware of the POSSIBILITY of travel disruptions.

Stay tuned for updates on this potential winter weather episode.

Snow showers could occur between 5am and noon on Wednesday. Temperatures have been cold in general, so the ground is pretty cold. 

The roads will warm up as cars drive, in addition to temperatures being at the following numbers:

5am - 31

7am - 33

9am - 35

11am - 38

But, this light snow, while not enough to plow or close roads, can actually be more slippery than higher accumulations. 

For this reason, be extra cautious when driving tomorrow morning.
