Residents can expect continued cold weather with clear skies and chilly winds. Highs today will barely reach freezing, with northwest winds gusting up to 34 mph, according to the National Weather Service.

Tonight’s low will be around 18 degrees with gusty winds. Wednesday will be "mostly sunny" with a high near 31 and continued winds. Snow is likely Friday night and Saturday, with a 60% chance on Friday and 40% on Saturday. Sunday will be sunnier, with highs in the mid-30s, as reported by the National Weather Service.

The National Weather Service issued a "Hazardous Weather Outlook" due to a "slight winter storm threat Saturday into Sunday." Snow has stopped, but refreezing may make roads hazardous overnight, particularly along the I-95 corridor and in the Chesapeake Bay area. A Gale Warning is in effect for local waters until this afternoon. The National Weather Service urges people to report snow and ice accumulation to help improve forecasts.
