Just wondering if this apparent dry area on radar is actually real or just the result of the radar. I’m aware there’s sometimes some issues looking southwest from sterling 

 

Look at KDOX radar. It’s because of beam altitude. Snow is falling but not reaching the ground. So the closer to the radar you lose returns.

there's definitely some dry air. shouldnt last too long once you get steady returns over you.

lol, that's always been there, it's fine. Its beam blockage of the radar itself from Bull Run Mountain.

To be fair, each of the warnings say “isolated” and “if heavy banding sets up”. 

True! Mainly the totals aspect. Not often we see 16" on a WSW. Handful every 4-8 years. Good luck up there in Northern Baltimore Co. I'm hoping a nice band setups up and the northern tier cashes and everyone gets the goods!
