Mount Holly keeping a WWA for now, but mentioned a possible upgrade in the AFD for tonight. Also noticed they have a bit more of a 'wide range' than usual for accumulations in the text forecast, owing to the possible tight gradient and uncertainty with the coastal enhancement across this area. Calling for 2-6" here and 3-7" around Easton. Less NE. Seems reasonable.

We're still pretty far out in time from any coastal development, and that placement is always difficult, so I expect some surprises later tomorrow. Good for some, and not so good for others.

NAMed! Lmao. Wow. Overdone no doubt unless the coastal gets going over us. 6z is always too amped... and we shouldn’t be model hugging at this point. Particularly not the euro, gfs. NAM is almost out of range too. RAPP is always a good call as we get close to kickoff.  

But hey... now all we need is that game time 25 mile shift north and we’re golden here in central md ;)

If anything, it’ll hurt those in the SSW quadrant of the storm, and help those on the NE flank if a coastal gets going earlier and is more amped than progged. Earlier development = quicker the energy transfers and pivots everything..  something to be watched, but doesn’t have a ton of model support. A few ensemble runs here and there. Can’t rule it out though. We are SO close.

And of course...especially for the northern half of the CWA... ratios will likely be better than progged. PSUhoffman and company will be posting the old “it snowed only 0.3” QPF liquid equivalent and we have 5” posts. Because of this I think DC and Baltimore proper see very similar totals, despite BAL seeing slightly less QPF. 10:1 ratios vs 12:1 or so.

 

Again... the things to watch for... game day bump north with the storm (25 mile shift north can’t be ruled out), a juicier than progged radar (which looks very robust around Missouri, Indiana, etc 8 inches of snow and counting in St. Louis so far) and last but not least, MAYBE the coastal getting going earlier. A lot to iron out while we are in game time. Here’s to hoping something finally goes our way.
