BALTIMORE — Good Thursday night!
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.
Sunday afternoon becomes more complicated, as a band of freezing rain is forecast to move into the area. This freezing rain should remain closer to the harbor and coastal regions, meaning locations farther northwest are more likely to see additional snow instead.
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.
