Winter storm to unleash burst of heavy snow for Wednesday morning commute, then an icy mix and rain

Winter storm to unleash burst of heavy snow for Wednesday morning commute, then an icy mix and rain
Travel likely to be ‘very difficult’ Wednesday morning

* Winter storm warning Wednesday from 1 a.m. to 7 p.m. (except until 1 a.m. Thursday far west and northwest) | Winter weather advisory Wednesday for Stafford County and Southern Maryland from 1 a.m. to 4 p.m. *
{Snip the alarming chart.}
For only the second time this year, a winter storm warning covers much of the metro region on Wednesday for the likelihood of a hazardous combination of snow and ice.
We are most concerned about Wednesday morning’s commute. Snow is expected to move in just before dawn and may rapidly become rather heavy, limiting visibility and turning roads treacherous during the heart of the typical commuting period.
Through mid-morning on Wednesday, the snow may quickly pile up (at a rate of around one inch per hour) and we anticipate widespread school closings. Airports are also likely to deal with delays and some canceled flights.
