@nj2va Sounds like Deep Creek will be the place to be for Christmas.... Hopefully a few of those squalls will make their way over the mountains. Would be sweet to see snow squall warnings popping up x-mas day.
.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
Strong low pressure center and accompanying sfc cold front will
cross the area on Christmas Eve and will be accompanied by
heavy showers, potentially damaging winds, and as much as 2
inches of rain that could lead to flash flooding given saturated
soils from melting snow and very wet second half of the year
over central and southern MD. The showers could end as a very
brief period of snow showers before ending with minimal
accumulation outside of the Appalachians. However, strong CAA
late Thu night will result in rapidly falling temperatures with
a flash freeze possible. Very cold air aloft pouring in late Thu
night and Fri will result in steepening lapse rates and
potential squally weather over the mtns with intense snow
showers possible. Wind chills will also be a concern for the
mtns where sub-zero wind chills are possible and a very cold day
and night Fri-Fri night elsewhere.
