As a snow lover like most of us, will be disappointing to be so close to big amounts BUT I am going to enjoy whatever I can get because anything is better than nothing! Also very happy for the folks in the jackpot zone as everyone knows they've been in the shaft zone way too many times over the years! Tough call for Towson. Could see places 30-50 miles south with 6-8-10” as they see 2-3”. The cutoff is insane. Curious to see if we see ANY noticeable shift northward versus models with precip. So far, not so much.

Steve25 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Going to be wild in Baltimore County today. There are going to be some people talking about how awesome the snow is and others who are like "What snow are you talking about?" As someone that drives from more north/central Baltimore County to the far southeast corner of the county for work, it'll be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoda Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC 319 AM EST Mon Jan 3 2022 .SYNOPSIS... Low pressure will continue to track northeastward along a cold front today. High pressure returns for Tuesday before a weak cold front crosses the area on Wednesday. Another low pressure system is slated to cross the region late in the week. Drier weather returns over the weekend. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... Latest WV imagery depicts a potent H5 trough beginning to take on a negatively tilted profile as a surface low pressure system currently over the southeast US tracks northeastward. Precip continues to spread over the area early this morning. Temperatures are sitting in the mid to upper 30s across many locations with some low 40s closer to the metro areas and southern MD. While precip is mainly in the form of rain currently, CC bright banding is showing some mixing in with sleet that`s becoming more widespread. In addition, some snow MPING reports and beginning to show over portions of the Blue Ridge. All of this is an indication of a warm mid layer continuing to erode away as colder air is advected into the region. Forecast generally remains on track from earlier forecasts. Only have made minor adjustments to snow totals to account for a slightly more NW shift in track. As such, have expanded the Winter Storm Warning farther NW. Expect the heaviest snow to begin developing closer to daybreak and last through most of the morning hours. There remains some uncertainty as to how far north the heaviest snow bands will develop. Latest hi-res guidance, in conjunction with previous runs, continues to depict a band of strong frontogenesis, slated to develop in a SW to NE orientation from the Central Shenandoah Valley, across southern Central VA, to just south of the DC Metro Area and points south. Strong omega in the snow growth zone, gives confidence that said bands have the potential to produce snowfall rates of 1 to 3 inches per hour at times along and southeast of the aforementioned locations. If that`s the case, with cold air in place yielding near 10:1 snow ratios, will see snow totals add up quickly. More so, given the fact that this will be occurring during the morning rush hour, will make driving quite difficult with visibilities lowering to a quarter of a mile in the heaviest banding, along with gusty winds that can result in blowing snow. Snow will begin to taper off from SW to NE through the afternoon hours as the low departs the area. Do expect the entire system to be offshore by early this evening. Cold air will remain in place overnight lows dropping down into the teens to low 20s for most. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
