Looking to our west, Pittsburgh upped snowfall totals along the MD/PA line. Seems like this system is rather energetic, and I would argue it bodes well for us later on tonight.
-
According to my records, since moving back to Maryland in August of 2016, I haven't experienced a December snowfall greater than 3.4", or an overall snowfall of greater than 4.8". Let's see what happens tonight!
-
RH spike to ~90% on all the Frederick, Carroll, Baltimore and Howard County mesonet sites. Precip is probably punching down to the surface.
-
Based off mesonet data, the wet bulb temp is 32/33 degrees for everyone west of I-95. It won't take much to bump this down below more once things get started. It looks like we might waste very little, if anything at all, on getting all frozen.
-
If it's a reload period with a definitive end period, that's fine. We all get worried when things just go zonal for weeks on end.
-
In Union Bridge already? That's great honestly. Very happy to see things going right to frozen once precip starts.
-
Ceilometer from McMillan Reservoir in DC showing a steady decrease in cloud heights. Precip is definitely starting to work towards the ground everywhere. https://ucn.cas.hamptonu.edu/viewer/?ceilometer=9&date=2025-12-14&minaltitude=0&maxaltitude=6200&minbackscatter=10&maxbackscatter=100000&colorscheme=turbo&log_z=1&min_time=0&max_time=60&filtermonths=0

Good to see it starting as all snow. Appears to be a bit of a warm pocket in the Frederick Valley.
-
Winter Weather Advisory extended to western Loudoun County
-
20z HRRR is fine. Just a touch of noise.
-
Been saying this all day
-
Wow
-
Agreed. Unlike other events, we have cold ground at night, and there's a fresh press of legit continental polar air coming in. The Bittinger mesonet site is already down to 27°, and the Frostburg site is down to 28°.
-
mPING reports of all snow in southern Franklin County. Encouraging.
-
Wet bulb freezing line is just west of I-95. I'm liking this storm more by the hour.
-
18z NAM and HRRR have some insane lift for several hours through the DGZ. There's legit upside potential for this one.
-
Anxious for the 00z LWX/PIT soundings this evening.
-
18z HRRR would be low end warning snowfall for northern Baltimore/Harford/Cecil. . . .
-
Mt Holly upgrading.
-
Same.
-
I think you get 3" of snow from this.
-
12z GFS now has a surface low off the Jersey coast, which allows precip to fill in better. Looks like 0.5" QPF line bumps back from Delaware to the Harford/Cecil County line.
-
That thing is the Lucy of CAMs. Always the warmest, driest model it seems.
-
It's a solid run for sure.
-
3:30 pm was when Mt. Holly would push their products. You always wanted to see the crawl on the lower third go "...WINTER STORM WARNING FOR THE GREATER DELAWARE VALLEY..." Pure magic.
