More Snow Possible In Anne Arundel, 2nd Winter Storm Approaches MD

ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY, MD — Another winter storm may hit Anne Arundel later this week. Most of the county could get an additional 3 to 4 inches Thursday night into Friday morning.

The Curtis Bay and Jessup areas could see 2 inches. Isolated totals of 5 inches are possible elsewhere.

At 2:33 p.m. Wednesday, the National Weather Service issued a winter weather advisory for the DMV. Advisories are the least urgent weather announcement. Watches are more pressing, and warnings are the most serious.

This bulletin covers northern and central Maryland, the District of Columbia and northern Virginia. The alert will last from 9 p.m. Thursday until 5 a.m. Friday. The heaviest snow is expected between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. when the flakes may fall at 1 inch per hour.

"Plan on slippery road conditions," the National Weather Service said, warning that the system could affect Friday morning commutes. "Slow down and use caution while traveling. When venturing outside, watch your first few steps taken on steps, sidewalks, and driveways, which could be icy and slippery, increasing your risk of a fall and injury."

The full National Weather Service announcement is available here. The snow forecast is posted below.

The region is just recovering from Monday's snowfall. That storm was the first of the season, and it dumped 11 inches on some parts of the county.

Anne Arundel County Public Schools responded by canceling Monday and Tuesday classes. AACPS also opened two hours late on Wednesday.
