Maryland weather conditions
The snowstorm, which is expected to continue into Wednesday morning, was expected to accumulate up to seven inches in some parts of the state.
The snowfall should taper off before 7 a.m., however, many school districts have decided to close, delay, or transition to virtual learning.
A winter weather advisory is in effect for Baltimore City, Baltimore, Carroll, Harford, and Cecil counties through Wednesday morning. Meanwhile, a winter storm warning is issued for the rest of Maryland during the same timeframe.
WJZ's First Alert Weather Team says snowfall accumulations of 2 to 4 inches are expected in the advisory area. In the warning zone, widespread 4 to 6 inch totals are expected with more than 6 inches possible in some areas across Southern Maryland.
Slippery conditions are possible early Wednesday, especially on untreated and elevated surfaces like bridges and overpasses, after pockets of light freezing drizzle and sleet move through the state.
