Baltimore, MD – Maryland residents should prepare for a significant winter storm expected to bring heavy snow and ice starting tonight, creating dangerous conditions along I-95 and other major roadways Monday.
According to the National Weather Service, snow will begin after 2 a.m., becoming heavy during the morning hours and transitioning to a wintry mix by afternoon. The storm could drop up to 5 inches of snow across the region, with freezing rain adding to the risk of slick roads and power outages. Temperatures will hover in the upper 20s to low 30s, making conditions hazardous for drivers and pedestrians alike.
Officials are urging residents to stay off the roads unless travel is absolutely necessary. If driving is unavoidable, ensure your vehicle is equipped with emergency supplies, including blankets, water, and a fully charged phone. Commuters should monitor local alerts for road closures and delays, particularly along I-95, I-695, and other heavily traveled routes.
The storm is expected to taper off by late Monday night, leaving icy patches in its wake. Cold temperatures will persist, with Tuesday’s high reaching only 35°F under mostly sunny skies. Residents should also prepare for breezy conditions through midweek, with wind gusts reaching up to 25 mph.
Marylanders are encouraged to finalize preparations for the storm today, including stocking up on essential supplies and checking heating systems. Power outages are possible due to ice accumulation, so having flashlights and backup heat sources ready is critical.
