A storm later this weekend will shutdown travel and has the potential to be the biggest storm in years for the Baltimore area. Snow will overspread the area Saturday night and continue, heavy at times into Sunday night. A total of 6-10 inches is forecast, but is highly dependent on the track and intensity of a coastal storm that forms and the amount sleet and freezing rain that occur. A more intense storm with little or no mixing in of sleet may result in higher total snowfall. Snowfall of a foot or more is anticipated well north and west of the city with lower amounts farther south in Maryland. Streets and highways will become rapidly covered with snow and are likely to be snow packed and slippery during much of the storm. Frigid air following the storm will result in little or no natural melting for a few days.
