BALTIMORE (WJZ) – A cold shower is pouring down parts of Maryland this morning, but cold air is coming in.
As of 6 a.m., temperatures are in the mid-30s and below 40. However, a cold front in the Arctic will cause them to plummet to as low as 30 in the next few hours.
This rain forecast will turn into snow when we move at 7am
#WJZAlertDay: Cold air is coming and it will come with a vengeance! We will see the temperature drop sharply after 7am. Don’t let your guard down based on how mild it is right now. #WJZ #MDWX pic.twitter.com/wcGQYZ1tu1

This cold air can cause blisters in the road, so slow down and give yourself plenty of time.
Winter Weather Notice in effect for parts of Central Maryland through 1:00 p.m. ET
Most areas will have 1 to 3 inches of snow with some pockets possibly up to nearly 4 inches.
#WJZAlertDay: Winter weather notice in effect until 1pm. Most of the snow will fall between around 7-10am and can sometimes be heavy, reducing visibility. That combined with the splashes will affect you during your morning commute, so be careful. #WJZ pic.twitter.com/EZJtRnswiI

We expect most of the snow to fall around 10am and then start to taper off.
Things improve after lunchtime, but reschedule as it will be cold and pale!

Good morning! It was the first weather warning day on @wjz ️
We live in Carrol County once again showing you road conditions here as we expect another wave of winter weather.
So far, just wet roads, but that could change to icy conditions later this morning. pic.twitter.com/4Haiu6Efrm
