Maryland and DC Prepare for Wintry Weather and Travel Disruptions Friday

A winter storm is expected to impact Maryland on Friday, with a mix of freezing rain and sleet causing slippery conditions, especially north of I-70, leading to a First Alert Weather Day. The storm will end early Saturday, followed by a gloomy weekend and a significant temperature drop early next week with strong winds and cold temperatures. Travel conditions may be hazardous, particularly on untreated surfaces and bridges.
