Something to watch…the risk of ice Sunday night as we change from snow to rain. Models show temps above freezing by 11 pm. But I think this may be too fast, and the roads could take even longer to warm above freezing. Rain hitting cold ground = black ice. @wbaltv11 pic.twitter.com/ctNwXmvIEf

Forecast wind field in Sunday Evening about 4-5000 feet up. ? You’ll notice a RIPPING Low Level Jet from the SE. So, unless there is a major shift, the snow is going to mix to sleet/rain around Baltimore. Snow Thumpage is likely though for a few hours before the change.?❄️? pic.twitter.com/qCwhLP49Mz

Strong winter storm forecast to track right through central Maryland early Monday morning. On this track burst of heavy snow gives way to heavy rain which changes back to snow showers as the storm departs. pic.twitter.com/j67XrqsnRM
