Icy Roads May Return as Temperatures Drop Saturday Evening in Maryland

After fatal wrecks on roadways early Saturday due to ice, the National Weather Service is warning Maryland motorists of the potential for wet roads to refreeze early Saturday evening.

Temperatures are expected to drop to near freezing as the sun sets and road temperatures will drop, too.

"Motorists are urged to use extreme caution this evening - slow down, allow extra spacing with other cars and be prepared for icy spots," according to the weather service alert. "If you begin to slide do not slam on the brakes — slowly pump the breaks and turn the steering wheel in the direction the rear of the car is sliding."

The temperatures are expected to begin rising later in the evening. It'll provide for a comfortable Sunday, with temperatures near 57 degrees. However, rain is also in the forecast.
