The National Weather Service has released a ‘Special Weather Statement’ for the area, which includes Central/SE Montgomery County. The full statement can be seen below:
“There is a potential for hazardous commuting conditions for the Monday morning commute.
A period of freezing drizzle is POSSIBLE (a 30 percent chance) Monday morning across the Baltimore / Washington metro areas, primarily east of Interstate 95, with a light glaze possible on area roads.
If this threat does materialize during the Monday morning rush- hour, many roads could quickly turn icy. This could lead to dangerous traveling conditions, multiple accidents, and extensive delays.
If commuting Monday morning, be aware of the POSSIBILITY of significant travel disruptions.
Plan ahead by allowing for extra travel time, and consider using public transportation and telework options.”
The Forecaster’s Discussion from the National Weather Service, just before the statement was released:
The soundings on guidance suggest this will be mostly low-level moisture, probably too low for snow given the temps in the profile, but with surface temps near or below freezing late tonight into early Monday, this opens up the possibility of some light freezing rain or drizzle.
Confidence is not at all high, and its possible that the dry air presently over the area ends up eating up most or all of this precip, or that temps manage to moderate enough so that what falls manages to just be liquid, but since any freezing rain or drizzle can be very hazardous, will be issuing a commuter hazard statement for this potential shortly.
