State Highway Administration officials again said they would deploy crews and monitor road conditions but urged drivers to be careful.

"We have yet another storm where the primary impact is expected to be during a weekday rush hour," SHA Administrator Melinda B. Peters said in a statement. "Crews will treat roads, but with freezing rain and sleet expected, we continue to ask drivers to drive cautiously and at a speed appropriate for the conditions."

Temperatures were in the lower 30s late Thursday afternoon, with a 10-15 mph breeze making it feel like the mid- to upper-20s.

Flurries are also possible on the tail end of the system on Friday morning, along with strong winds.

Frigid weather is forecast Friday and Saturday. Temperatures are forecast to drop throughout the day Friday, starting in the mid-30s in the morning and reaching the lower 20s by the evening, and gusty winds of 20-40 mph are expected to make it feel like the teens and down to the single digits overnight into Saturday.

Saturday morning could hit the upper single digits in outlying areas and the lower teens around Baltimore. Though sunny skies are expected Saturday, highs are forecast only in the upper 20s.
