Harford County Under Winter Weather Advisory

The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for southeastern Harford County.

The advisory calls for 1 to 3 inches of snow and is effective from 3 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday.

In addition to Harford, parts of Baltimore, Howard and Montgomery counties are included in the advisory.

A winter weather advisory means that travel may become difficult. Roads may be snow-covered, and visibility may be reduced due to gusty winds.

State highway crews began treating roads with brine on Wednesday in anticipation of the winter weather, but drivers are advised to use extra caution and increase following distance if they must be out on the roads.

Temperatures will stay below freezing on Saturday, according to the National Weather Service.
