...POTENTIAL WINTER COMMUTING HAZARD FOR THE WASHINGTON AND
FREDERICKSBURG METRO AREAS THIS EVENING...

There is a potential for hazardous commuting conditions for this
evening`s commute. Isolated to scattered snow showers (a 20 to 30
percent chance at any one location) are forecast between 5 PM late
this afternoon and 10 PM this evening across the Washington
metropolitan area, the City of Fredericksburg, and southern
Maryland. Up to a half inch of accumulation is possible on area
roads and walkways.

If this threat materializes during the evening rush hour,
untreated roads could quickly turn icy. This could lead to
areas of dangerous travel conditions.

If commuting this evening, be aware of the POSSIBILITY of travel
disruptions. Plan ahead by allowing for extra travel time, and
consider using public transportation.
