Thursday January 17 2019

Today will be dry with some thing in the afternoon, but snow will arrive late afternoon and evening on the north side. So if you have activities, not all will be impacted at first. But a round of snow or mix will spread overnight, then gone before sunrise. This will be a minor event, but there will be some areas that remain icy Friday morning, while many metro area will that.

This Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for the counties west and north of Baltimore and Washington, where the impact is likely to remain for the morning commute. Southern PA has not had their local NWS office issue an advisory yet, but considers yourself to be included.

Below is a look at two snow timelines to show the first round later afternoon and the overnight push of snow. Also a look at snow potential, which will be generally an inch or two in the affected areas.

The weekend event will be bigger, and as I wrote yesterday… Snow Saturday evening will change to rain, but northern areas could remain icy. Then the return to snow Sunday will come with arctic air. The snow totals are not as important as the flash freeze. Quick icing for many areas expected Sunday afternoon.
