Winter weather alerts have been issued throughout Maryland through Tuesday.
According to the National Weather Service, there’s a distinct difference between Warnings, Watches and Advisories.
A Winter Storm Warning brings a high chance of heavy snow, sleet or ice that could significantly impact the area.
Winter Storm Watches carry a medium threat of snow, sleet or ice. A watch indicates a storm is possible, but not necessarily expected.
