Confidence has continued to increase in the potential for light snowfall accumulations across the area late Friday night Feb 16 into midmorning Saturday Feb 17.
Key Takeaways:
- Snow showers are forecast to begin across Queen Anne’s County between 9 PM and midnight on Friday and become persistent through the predawn hours Saturday morning before tapering off midmorning Saturday.
- Total snowfall accumulations of 1-3 inches are forecast for Queen Anne’s County.
- Ground temperatures are above freezing, which will help slow accumulations on surface-based roadways. However, air temperatures during the overnight and morning hours will support snowfall accumulations on elevated roadways. As a result, slick road conditions will be most likely be limited to on elevated and untreated residential roadways with wet to slushy road conditions expected on most surface-based primary roads.
- After the snow ends Saturday morning, air temperatures will rise above freezing and aid in natural melting throughout the day.
- Overnight temperatures in the mid-20s Saturday night into Sunday morning will support the refreezing of any residual moisture on roadways. This may result in a few icy patches before temperatures warm above freezing by midmorning Sunday.
