Maryland and the surrounding DMV (D.C., Maryland, Virginia) region are bracing for a significant winter weather event this Sunday, with forecasts indicating temperatures plummeting and a potential snowstorm moving in. According to the National Weather Service, Maryland is expected to experience a chilly day with temperatures hovering in the mid-30s Fahrenheit, with chances of moisture increasing throughout the day. Alongside the cold, a storm system is anticipated to roll in late Sunday evening, with rain transitioning into snow as temperatures drop. As early as Saturday, weather forecasts already warned residents to prepare for icy conditions, especially on untreated road surfaces. In Montgomery County, local authorities are mobilizing to ready snow plows and brine trucks ahead of the impending storm. “We’re doing everything we can to ensure that our roads are safely cleared for travel,” said Montgomery County’s Department of Transportation Director, Chris Conklin. Meanwhile, in the broader DMV area, Washington D.C. is also preparing for potentially slippery conditions with local snow preparations underway. Forecast models suggest that areas may see snowfall accumulation ranging from 3 to 6 inches by Monday morning. Meteorologists are cautioning residents about the combination of rain and snow that could lead to hazardous travel conditions, advising that heavy snow and strong winds may further complicate the situation. Road users are encouraged to monitor real-time updates and take necessary precautions as the weekend progresses into inclement weather. The winter storm warning is in effect for various counties, emphasizing the need for caution. The impacts of this storm could resonate into Monday with disruptions to traffic and possible school delays as officials assess road safety post-storm. Severe weather preparations are also highlighted as essential as the region transitions into what appears to be a turbulent winter weather season.
