RadioOnFire.com - Several inches of snow are possible west of Interstate 95 on Wednesday, but more of a wintry mix of rain and snow is expected for Thanksgiving travelers along the busy corridor, according to the National Weather Service.
A winter storm watch is in effect for Wednesday in Carroll, Harford and northern Baltimore counties, with 6 inches or more of snow possible.
The weather service is calling for 1-3 inches closer to I-95 and less than an inch of slushy accumulation to the southeast, closer to the relatively warm waters of the Chesapeake Bay.
Forecasting models are suggesting that a low-pressure system will form over the Carolinas and sweep up the coast. But, as is often the case with these early-season coastal storms, it's difficult to pin down a precise track -- and thus, precise precipitation forecasts. How closely the storm hugs the coast helps to dictate both how much precipitation falls and whether it falls as rain or snow.
Regardless, it is likely to be a messy travel day up and down the East Coast, with the weather service predicting "heavy snow" from the mid-Atlantic into New England.
