February 4- The front that was stalled is hanging back even longer. Below is an update radar simulation through 7 AM Friday. The only adjustment to my prior forecast is that the developing snow will linger a little longer on the western side of the Bay.
UPDATE: Even farther west with snow- See the simulation showing snow developing near Frederick overnight and leading to a rough Baltimore commute. This will be an overnight development, which will help snow lovers, but there is a caveat. The temperatures will be marginal. In fact, they might remain above freezing from I-95 to the Delmarva. So moderate to heavy snow will be needed to compensate for the warmer ground. I must repeat myself from earlier: We just melted over 2 feet of snow in a week. So the full potential of snow here will not be felt, but there will be some sloppy slushy stickage on the roads by daybreak. Yes, there is a chance for school delays with a sloppy inch or so of ‘refresher’ snow.
Temperatures:
Notes:
- Please keep in mind that this is NOT a repeat of our blizzard.
- This will develop overnight into morning.
- Ground temps are warm, air temps will be marginal.
- There will be wasted flakes to melting.
- Where: From Washington to Baltimore’s west side. Perhaps Rt 29 as a reference… and points east for concern.
- The biggest issue will likely be in the Advisory area, but I want to extend the potential for a dusting to an inch in metro Baltimore as well..
How Much?
This is only through 7 AM
Note: There will be more on the grass than roads… but what is on the roads will be slushy and wet.
