allowat Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Very good AFD from LWX: Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC 337 PM EST Sun Jan 5 2025 .SYNOPSIS... A strong low pressure system will slide across the region tonight into Monday, producing widespread wintry precipitation across the region. Below normal temperatures continue through the coming week as strong arctic high pressure builds towards the region. Another area of low pressure may impact the region next weekend. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/... A potent storm system will approach the region from the west over the next 24 hours. As of late this afternoon, a closed upper low is present on water vapor imagery over KS/OK/MO, with an associated surface low located just downstream over Arkansas. This system will gradually progress eastward toward the Mid- Mississippi Valley this evening, through the Ohio Valley tonight into Monday, and then overhead Monday night. Downstream of the upper low, water vapor imagery shows a fetch of moisture being drawn northward out of the Gulf of Mexico. A broad zone of warm advection/frontogenetic forcing in the 850-700 hPa layer extends eastward downstream of the low, producing precipitation all the way into SW VA and NC. As this zone of low-level warm advection/frontogenetic forcing spreads further north and east, precipitation will break out across the area this evening into the overnight hours. Snow is ongoing across southwestern Virginia at the moment. Onset times of snow are expected to be around 6-9 PM in the Alleghenies, central Shenandoah Valley, and central Virginia, 9PM-midnight in the northern Shenandoah Valley, DC/Baltimore Metros, and southern Maryland, and around midnight in far northeast Maryland. The snow should pick up in intensity fairly quickly, and continue steadily through around mid-morning tomorrow. As the zone of strongest warm advection/frontogenetic forcing translates across the region from west to east late tonight into early tomorrow morning, there will be a window of 3-5 hours in any given location where snowfall rates may reach 1-2 inches per hour. This zone of heavier snowfall rates will reach the Alleghenies shortly after midnight, the I-81 corridor by around 3 AM, and then the I-95 corridor around 4-5 AM. This period of heavier snow will overlap directly with the morning commute hours in DC and Baltimore, before dropping southeastward across southern Maryland during the late morning hours, and then exiting off to the east during the afternoon. There will be a bit of a lull in the precipitation during the late morning/early afternoon hours, when just intermittent light snow showers are expected. It`s also possible that some locations from the I-66 corridor southward could lose ice crystals for a brief time as a warm nose works in aloft. This could potentially result in a little patchy freezing drizzle during that lull, primarily from central Virginia to southern Maryland. As we move into the late afternoon and evening hours, a second round of steadier snowfall is expected across the area during the late afternoon and early evening hours as the system`s upper level low passes overhead. Precipitation will then exit the area to the east by around midnight. The exception will be along the Allegheny Front, where light snow showers may linger in upslope flow through the remainder of the night. Over the past 12 hours, model guidance has come into better agreement with respect to both QPF amounts, and precipitation types. The vast majority of the forecast area is now expected to see all snow. The exception will be across central Virginia and the central Shenandoah Valley, especially from I-64 southward, where sleet may mix in. A broad 6-12 inches of snow is expected across nearly all of the forecast area, with localized amounts in excess of 12 inches possible where heavier banding lingers longer. There are two potential exceptions to this, each of which has a bit of forecast uncertainty associated with it. The first is across central Virginia and the central Shenandoah Valley (especially to the south of Charlottesville, Waynesboro, and Staunton), where sleet may cut back on totals. The second potential exception is across far northern Maryland from near Hagerstown eastward to Cecil County, where QPF amounts may be a bit lower. Depending on which model source verifies, amounts there may be a bit above or below 6 inches. The bulk of the snow should fall during the first round of snowfall tonight through the mid-morning hours tomorrow. Snow character will be an average snowfall (not overly wet and heavy, or light and fluffy). The second round of snowfall tomorrow evening should feature an additional 1-3 inches of snow across the area. This snow should be very light and fluffy in nature. With less mixing expected compared to earlier forecasts, much less in the way of icing is expected, with ice accumulations (generally around a tenth of an inch or less) confined mainly to central Virginia, although a light glaze may also be possible across the Central Shenandoah Valley or southern Maryland.
