Special Weather Statement issued December 31 at 11:25PM EST by NWS Baltimore MD/Washington DC

Effective: Wed December 31, 2025, 11:25 PM
Expires: Thu January 1, 2026, 4:00 AM

A line of snow showers will likely pass through the area along a cold front between 2 AM and 4 AM overnight. The heavier snow showers will last about 10 to 20 minutes with visibilities locally reduced to near one-half mile. Snow may coat the ground and temperatures will quickly fall below freezing behind this line. Therefore, any wet or slushy untreated surfaces may become icy into Thursday morning. Please use extra caution if you are travelling during this time. Drive slowly and leave plenty of distance between you and the vehicle in front of you so you are prepared for any sudden changes in visibility.

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.
