Maryland Weather: Icy Roads A Concern After Wintry Mix Overnight

BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- An area of low pressure brought wintry weather to Maryland Saturday, which will create difficulties for travel and slick roads Sunday morning.

The steadiest precipitation will come to an end Saturday night, however, freezing drizzle will be possible overnight.

Significant icing was reported in areas south of Baltimore. For example, in a report for Crofton, Maryland, 0.25" of ice accretion. Elkridge saw 0.20" of ice accretion, while Edgemere recorded 0.15".

Columbia reported 0.13", while Forest Hill had 0.05".

Expect icy conditions Sunday morning, with overnight lows dropping into the 20s.

Drier conditions will prevail for Valentine's Day, however, the skies will remain mostly cloudy.

Temperatures Sunday afternoon are expected to rise above freezing, so that should help with some melting!

Winter weather advisories and ice storm warnings remain in effect for parts of the region through 7 a.m. Sunday.

The system prompted the National Weather Service to issue a Winter Weather Advisory for: Anne Arundel, southern Baltimore, Calvert, Charles, Cecil, southern Harford, Howard, Montgomery, Prince George's and St. Mary's counties beginning Saturday morning through Sunday morning. Baltimore City is also included in the advisory.
