...GUSTY WINDS AND SATURATED GROUND WILL LIKELY RESULT IN FALLING
TREES THROUGH TONIGHT...
Easterly winds gusting around 30 mph combined with very wet ground
will likely result in trees toppling through tonight. Roadways may
become blocked by downed trees, and isolated power outages are
possible. Avoid driving through wooded areas and downed power
lines. If you live near large trees, consider staying in the
interior of the lowest level of your home tonight to protect
yourself from falling trees. Several trees have already been
toppled this afternoon. Winds should diminish late tonight.

...ICY SPOTS LIKELY FOR THE MORNING COMMUTE...
Colder air moving in behind a cold front has allowed temperatures
to drop below freezing across the Potomac Highlands, the
Interstate 81 corridor between Staunton and Hagerstown, the Blue
Ridge, and the western suburbs of Washington DC and Baltimore.
With the ground still wet, this has permitted patches of ice to
form. Slick conditions will be most likely in sheltered
locations, where the wind has not had an opportunity to dry the
pavement.
Motorists should use extreme caution commuting this morning.
Pedestrians should also walk with care. Many spots that appear wet
may in fact be slippery.
