WEATHER ALERT: Two Storms to Hit This Weekend

A one-two punch of two snowstorms moving through the area could mean a weekend of sleet and snow, which prompted the National Weather Service to issue a winter weather advisory for much of the region, including Montgomery County.

The winter weather advisory for snow, sleet and freezing rain is in effect from 6 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 23, to noon on Saturday, Jan. 24.

A wintry mix of snow and sleet will begin falling Friday night, the advisory says.

Precipitation will switch to freezing rain overnight, then taper off late Saturday morning, according to the advisory.

WJZ TV reports the first storm could arrive Friday night into Saturday and the second, Sunday night into Monday.

Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Carroll, Frederick, Harford, Howard, Montgomery and Prince George’s counties are under the winter weather advisory, in addition to the District of Columbia and much of Virginia.

The Washington metro area will get 1 inch of accumulation, while those north and west of the Interstate 95 corridor and the Mason-Dixon line may be in for 1 to 3 inches, according to the advisory.

Untreated roads and sidewalks may be slippery, and drivers should be prepared for reduced visibilities, the weather service reported.
