WASHINGTON — The Washington Area Metropolitan Transit Authority (WMATA) is warning riders that winter weather forecasted for Thursday, Dec. 15 may impact service.
According to a release from WMATA, Metro is keeping a close eye on the sky as freezing rain may cause issues in D.C. and surrounding parts of Maryland and Virginia.
Metrobus plans to offer regular service, however, if road conditions deteriorate and become hazardous, customers may experience delays or detours.

Customers can visit the Metro website to review any planned detours in advance to see how their routes may be affected.
Riders should allow for additional travel time and be cautious when on platforms, escalators, parking lots and other areas that may be slippery.
WMATA says Metrorail is expected to operate on a normal schedule.
