The most significant winter storm in years will sweep through Maryland this weekend. The heaviest snowfall is expected on Sunday.

The Baltimore metro area is bracing for a snowstorm that could be its biggest since the blizzard of 2016 with forecasters warning that heavy snow, ice, and bitter cold could grip the region beginning late Saturday and linger into next week.

Meteorologist Stevie Daniels says the higher snowfall amounts will be farther northwest of the Chesapeake Bay. Areas southeast of the metro will likely deal with more freezing rain and sleet.

A winter storm is expected to bring heavy snow, ice and dangerously cold temperatures to Maryland this weekend.

The National Weather Service predicts significant cold and potential snow impacting Baltimore with near-record lows expected this weekend.

THE MAJOR THING, LIKE YOU SAID, IS THE COLD AND THE COMBINATION OF SNOW AND THE LITTLE WRINKLE IN THE FORECAST. LIKE I SAID, AT THE TOP OF THE SHOW IS THE POSSIBILITY OF SOME FREEZING RAIN. THAT’S NOT A GOOD THING.

A Winter Weather Advisory will be in effect from 4 AM to 6 PM Sunday for several Central and Northeastern Maryland Counties
