This Sunday, Maryland is bracing for a combination of wet and wintry weather conditions. The forecast indicates that the region will experience significant snow accumulations as temperatures hover in the low 30s. Snow is expected to begin in the early morning, creating hazardous travel conditions for residents and visitors alike. In Washington, D.C., the National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory from 4 AM to 1 PM, anticipating nearly 2 inches of snow and the possibility of sleet mixed in. Notably, the wet weather comes just one day before Inauguration Day, raising concerns for those attending the event. Meteorologist Brian van de Graaff mentioned, ‘We’re going to see snow overspreading the area throughout the day, and it’s going to be a wet and messy day overall.’ As snow totals vary across regions, areas further north are set for higher accumulations while south of D.C. may experience little to no snow. The cold temperatures combined with precipitation may cause slippery roads, making it essential for motorists to exercise caution. In addition to snow, the expected weather is influencing preparations for the Inauguration, with officials reiterating the importance of weather forecasts for safety. Issued advisories remind residents to stay updated as conditions change. As the nation gears up for this significant political event, weather conditions will be closely monitored to ensure a safe environment for participants and attendees.
