It’s a close shave, no question about it, but does seem like this is one of those systems that could actually trend south instead of north. That’s some stout cold with a reinforcement incoming (just needs to be more incoming lol).
I’m kinda thinking that too tbh. Maybe a subtle tick north. The difference between the models at this point seems like subtle differences in when the phasing with that unraveling Baja low occurs.
Pretty obvious given the low dews leading in that the main model convergence now is on a front end thump (6-10”?) with wildcards thereafter depending on low track, strength of cad, etc.
I didn’t…but after growing up in Silver Spring, I know this area is like a different climate. Actually, anything Germantown north can be the dividing line for snow/sleet…at least it used to be.
Yea the changeover seems to get triggered by that spoke of Baja energy rotating closer by midday Sunday. Hope this doesn’t become a Feb 94. Unlikely, but it would really help to get a closed low below our latitude again at some point like most of the big storms do.
I don’t get paid to do this, but that map says (and has said) to me that suppression/sheared is still the more likely outcome. But if it cuts to Detroit, then I was just kidding.
Just got back from Wegman’s near what I think is your old stomping ground…looked like it had been robbed.
Feeling pretty good about this storm up this way, though I could see how Thurmont and north might do better than Frederick proper.
Yep, shows how easily this system could get bullied south and become a sheared out system. Seems like anything from amped to modest to even a two-part system is on the table.
