WJZ's Marty Bass said temperatures should stay above 32 degrees and a pocket of mild air is making its way to the area. As a result, much of the sleet that was falling early Tuesday morning will switch to rain.
A winter weather advisory is in effect until 10 a.m. Tuesday for parts of central Maryland. Up to a tenth of an inch of freezing rain is expected to fall.
Officials urge drivers to be cautious if they're heading out on the road Tuesday.
Several school districts closed as a result of the weather conditions. The list includes Allegany County, Baltimore City, Baltimore County, Carroll County, Cecil County, Frederick County, Garrett County, Harford County, and Washington County.
