4 am tomorrow morning.  I honestly think we could be under one by then.  

These long duration light precipitation events must make NWS pull its hair out. Reasonable that much of the area could get >5”, but over like 48 hrs?

This is what LWX says in their definition of a WSWatch -- https://www.weather.gov/lwx/WarningsDefined#:~:text=A Winter Storm Warning is,AND%2FOR

Winter Storm Watch

A Winter Storm Watch is issued when there is the potential for significant and hazardous winter weather within 48 hours. It does not mean that significant and hazardous winter weather will occur...it only means it is possible.

Significant and hazardous winter weather is defined as a combination of:
1)  5 inches or more of snow/sleet within a 12-hour period or 7 inches or more of snow/sleet within a 24-hour period

The euro has been a little too far south all winter...this is PERFECT where it is now for an eventual DC to Baltimore jack! 

I was just about to say this.... if I was in the DC-BAL corridor I’d be thrilled to see the Max where it is right now

DT seems pretty excited. Either that or his all caps method of typing makes it seem like he's yelling every single word :unsure:

Arctic high pressure will remain wedged in along the eastern slopes
of the Appalachains. Meanwhile, low pressure will be sliding by to
our south. Wintry weather is expected to continue into Thursday.
Still some uncertainty in regards to precipitation type for the
duration of the event. Guidance overnight, which now includes
the NAM, have started to trend cooler aloft, leading to a
snowier solution across the region, especially the northern
half. Do expect some mixing of sleet, snow, and freezing rain to
occur across the southern half of the CWA. Will be tough, as
usual, to pin point that mixing line at this point. This system
continues into Friday morning as well, which will make this a
fairly long-duration event.

For the weekend, the pattern remains quite unsettled. An even colder
arctic air mass will become wedged into the region Saturday, setting
the stage for yet another winter weather event. First part of the
day could be dry, though there is some spread there, so will
maintain some chance POPs during the day. The bigger event comes
late Saturday night into Sunday. Details are still fuzzy concerning
temperatures aloft, thus not really sure of precip types at this
point, but am growing increasingly confident in another winter
storm. At this point, would certainly favor our northwestern zones,
given climatology. However, plenty of time for things to change, so
will continue to monitor in the coming days

NWS also talking about nice accumulations. Gotta love these types of moisture feed events in our area. We historically do pretty well with them. Just need to fine tune a few details but 6+ seems quite likely for Wed into Thursday for most

How do people still take him seriously? Honestly I’m not bashing him but he is so irresponsibly early/bullish with his calls. Every. Single. Time. His record is appalling if you take him for his word 3-5 days out.

Agreed but besides the wording this time he simply attached today’s 12z Euro.

Glad to see mostly hits or misses to the south.   Also think there will be a double jackpot for this event. 1 in the western mountains  from upslope flow and the other along the Delmarva from the coastal storm.

I can't get his article out of my head from the 31st-2nd storm last weekend when things seemed to be crumbling for significant snow chances around here and he said he sees a real possibility of Baltimore/DC to get into the 18-24 inch bullseye.

Right??? He’s a salesperson. Not a met.
