Special Weather Statement issued January 9 at 1:27AM EST by NWS Baltimore MD/Washington DC

Effective: Fri January 9, 2026, 1:27 AM
Expires: Fri January 9, 2026, 3:00 AM

A line of showers is moving across Northeast Maryland early this morning. Around 15 minutes of light precipitation is occurring in any given location as this line moves through from west to east. Most locations have temperatures above freezing and are experiencing plain rain. However, a few locations have dropped back to at or slightly below freezing, and could experience a very brief period of freezing rain. This line of light showers should clear Northeast Maryland by 3 AM. With temperatures right around freezing, elevated surfaces such as roofs, cartops, and deck railings may get a light glaze of ice on them. Use extra caution if traveling on untreated surfaces, especially elevated ones like bridges and overpasses as slick spots are possible.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
