Stick a fork in it, NWS Sterling:

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...

-- Changed Discussion --WE HAVE MADE SEVERAL CHANGES TO HEADLINES. WINTER STORM WARNINGS

HAVE BEEN CANCELLED FOR ALL COUNTIES BUT ST MARYS AND CHARLES

COUNTIES BASED ON RADAR TRENDS /NOTING TIGHT GRADIENT OF SNOWFALL

ACCUMULATIONS/ AND SOME OF THE 12Z GUIDANCE INDICATING HIGHER QPF

GENERALLY EAST OF THE AREA. GREATEST POTENTIAL FOR 0.50" OF

LIQUID WHICH COULD TRANSLATE TO AROUND 5 INCHES THROUGH THIS

EVENING WOULD BE ACROSS LOWER SOUTHERN MARYLAND. REST OF THE

INTERSTATE 95 CORRIDOR HAS BEEN DOWNGRADED TO ADVISORIES FOR LESSER

AMOUNTS AND HAVE CANCELLED ADVISORIES OUT ALONG AND WEST OF THE

BLUE RIDGE EXCEPT FOR THE HIGHLANDS WHERE UPSLOPE SNOW WILL

INCREASE LATER TODAY/TONIGHT.

SNOW WILL GRADUALLY SPREAD NORTH THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS...THE

FAR WESTERN FRINGE OF LIGHT SNOW LIKELY MAKING IT ACROSS THE

WESTERN BALTIMORE/WASHINGTON SUBURBS. MUCH OF THE SNOW WILL BE

LIGHT EXPECT FOR SOUTHERN MARYLAND WHERE IT WILL BE MODERATE AT

TIMES THIS AFTERNOON. PLEASE REFER TO THE WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE

AND FORECASTS FOR SPECIFICS ON SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS.

Some flurries now. The clouds are quickly moving NE to SW now. That tells me that the 700MB low that has brought all this dry air is contracting and migrating toward the strengthening coastal.

If we are going to get any pivot to bring the snow back in DC Metro, we should see bands starting to move west again soon.

Radar is starting to improve SE of DC it seems... Some evidence the low is getting mor effective at pushing moisture back

I knew as soon as I woke up and saw not a flake had fallen that it was time to storm-cancel DC-BALT-ANP.

I poured too many damn hours into this storm for nothing. **** this ****. See you all next year.

Actually Annapolis might make out OK in all this. It is light snow right now and if we can stay on the western edge we could possibly get 4 or more.

Nice to see some definitive pivoting.

If this keeps up, LWX will have been fooled into tapering a bit much.

Nice to have a storm that keeps everyone guessing.

don't be so quick, the precip is drying up as it passes westward. dark blues are now light as soon as you said that.

part of it is that we have too much information and too much access to others with information. this storm maybe should make people wonder how often they should update their thoughts etc. i know im thinking about that.

not to butt in on another region...but its too early to call bust anywhere til the pivot/capture...which was not progged to start for another few hours. Also on several of the models it looked like snow intensity increased even to the SW of the storm center once it really gets cranking later. Hope you all do well relative to expectations you woke up with this morning.
