BALTIMORE — Happy Friday! Winter Storm Watches have been issued for Maryland from Saturday evening through Monday morning. Snow is expected to begin between 6 PM and midnight Saturday night and continue steadily through midday Sunday. A band of freezing rain is forecast to move into the area on Sunday afternoon, which could deplete snowfall totals southeast of the Chesapeake Bay. However, areas northwest more likely to see additional snow. Freezing rain will be a major concern on Sunday, as ice accumulations of a quarter to a half inch could bring down trees and power lines. Now is a good time to stock up on batteries, flashlights, and candles.
Have a sunny day!
