BALTIMORE (WBFF) -- Winter weather and freezing rain advisories were extended by the National Weather Service (NWS) on Saturday, as slush and ice hit the area.

A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until 1 p.m. for Carroll, Baltimore and Harford counties, with sleet accumulations expected to be less than 1 inch. Ice accumulations of 2/10 of an inch are possible, NWS said.



"Sleet and freezing rain will continue through late morning, then change to rain early this afternoon," NWS wrote in an alert. "Hazardous travel is expected due to icy roads and walkways."

For Prince George's and Anne Arundel County, the Winter Weather Advisory will remain in effect until noon, with freezing rain expected to continue through the morning before changing over to rain around noon.

The Winter Weather Advisory for Montgomery and Howard counties will remain in effect until noon as well, with freezing rain and sleet expected to change to rain around that time.

Washington, Frederick and Allegany counties will remain under a Winter Storm Warning until 1 p.m.

The icy conditions caused numerous crashes Saturday morning and transit officials urged drivers to stay home and delay travel plans.
