psuhoffman Posted yesterday at 05:03 PM Share Posted yesterday at 05:03 PM 6 minutes ago, nw baltimore wx said: The precip just to the southwest of DC is what I've got my eye on. That is the banding associated with the h85 fgen that is about to slide across our area from SW to NE. When that arrives is when things should start to change around the DC metro from 95 NW. For the northern MD crew, unlike the last event when the H85 and H7 forcing was way out of alignment and created the huge screw zone for us...this time it looks like they are going to line up for a time this afternoon from about 1-4pm where we will be on the NW side of the H85 forcing as the H7fgen slides across northern MD and southern PA. That is out window to see some really heavy snow. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terpeast Posted yesterday at 05:03 PM Share Posted yesterday at 05:03 PM Yellows on my door step. Moment of truth. If I see flakes mixing in at minimum, then its game on for the NW suburbs 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where it sits out on the W/NW edge in Garret co and SW PA right now is producing some heavy snow already. Those spots have some 1-2”/hr rates going judging by cams and obs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time the H7fgen shot up into western PA then got crushed by the flow as it tried to continue NE. This time its sliding ESE with the front and will intersect the h85 forcing along northern MD and southern PA. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayyy Posted yesterday at 05:08 PM Share Posted yesterday at 05:08 PM Expecting places west of 95 to flip to snow around 1-130 pm and Baltimore around 2pm as consistent heavier returns begin to impact that area. Locations near 95 were NOT supposed to get much in the way of QPF from the initial push of moisture to the NW. Models did a good job depicting this going in. Models also showed the storm dumping majority of QPF near the fall line in the mid to late afternoon. Especially for the Baltimore area and points NE. Still on schedule peeps. Stay cool. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are also in much better shape WRT ratios this time. I can tell the lift is aligned with the DGZ better because even right now as I am in a lull between that initial band that shot out ahead along the boundary and the one coming in from the SW associated with the mid level forcing... its still big nice sized flakes. Last time we had those stupid needles that don't pile up at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terpeast Posted yesterday at 05:10 PM Share Posted yesterday at 05:10 PM Started out as rain, and just when I was going to call TOD on this for folks east of 15, I saw a flake. Will wait another 15 min or so 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our areas could maximize 15-1’s in the good stuff this afternoon as Millville said yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dailylurker Posted yesterday at 05:14 PM Share Posted yesterday at 05:14 PM I wasn't expecting to lose my snowpack today. I've got snow eating fog, rapid snow melt, drizzle and warm temps. I was planning a hike but it's so nasty I think I'll wait. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
