Drive carefully this morning, Maryland. Dense fog will cloud visibility on roads to less than one-quarter mile, making driving conditions hazardous.

The National Weather Service issued a dense fog advisory for Central Maryland until 10 a.m. Slow down, use your headlights and leave plenty of distance between cars.

After the fog, there’s a chance of showers between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m., with some calm wind. The region will continue to get some respite from arctic-like weather the rest of the week, with temperatures hovering in the 40s and 50s.

There is also a chance of snow and some winter storm threat on Sunday, said Anna Stuck, a meteorologist for the weather service’s Baltimore/Washington office. But it’s still too early to say it with confidence, Stuck said.

Meteorologists will keep monitoring. We’ll keep hoping it’s not a repeat of late January’s winter storm, as its leftover mounds of frozen, dirty snow are still melting.
