Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Services responded to a house fire on Shining Willow Dr in Travilah around 4:30 on Wednesday.
The fire began on the home’s rear porch and was likely caused by improperly discarded smoking materials, according to Chief Spokesperson for MCFRS Pete Piringer.
Today we enjoyed temperatures in the upper 60s and lower 70s, giving the area a taste of spring. Temperatures are expected to crash overnight, dropping to/around the freezing mark mid-morning Thursday morning. Highs tomorrow will likely be around 35 degrees with temperatures hovering around freezing again Thursday night when the precipitation begins and go back up to about 35 degrees in the morning. Right now, temperatures don’t support much ice, but it’s still possible things are a little cooler than expected.
The most recent map from the National Weather Service, seen in our featured photo, shows almost all of MoCo getting a trace of ice with a sprinkle of northern areas getting up to a tenth of an inch.
