Winter Storm Watch Issued for Storm Forecast for Tuesday Evening Through Wednesday Evening
The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Watch for the Baltimore-Washington area—meaning there is a potential for significant snow, sleet, or ice accumulation--in effect from Tuesday evening through Wednesday evening, with the possibility of snow accumulations of more than five inches and a potential for significant snowfall within the watch area. Officials forecast precipitation mixing with and changing to snow Tuesday night and continuing into Wednesday evening with temperatures in the lower and mid-30s and winds 10 to 20 MPH with gusts up to 30 MPH. Uncertainty remains with the track of the low pressure front and location of the rain-snow line which ultimately will determine snowfall totals. Potential impacts include difficult driving conditions, heavy, wet snow, and gusty winds leading to power outages.
