A winter storm warning is in effect for large parts of Maryland from Sunday afternoon through Monday morning, with heavy snow and wind gusts expected.
On Saturday, Gov. Wes Moore declared a State of Preparedness ahead of the storm system expected to bring hazardous travel and possible power outages starting Sunday afternoon.
What’s Happening: The Harford County Department of Emergency Services posted that the warning runs from 3 p.m. Sunday to 10 a.m. Monday for portions of central, north central, northeast, northern, and southern Maryland. Forecasts call for heavy snow and wind gusts up to 35 mph.
What’s Important: The warning calls for 4 to 8 inches of snow, with locally higher amounts near 12 inches possible in northeast Maryland. Roads are expected to turn slick, especially on bridges and overpasses, and travel could be very difficult, including during the Monday morning commute.
How This Affects Real People: Harford County emergency services advised anyone who must drive to keep an extra flashlight, food, and water in the car, and said drivers can check road conditions by calling 511.
