Early Morning Winter Weather Round Up Thursday February 11

Thursday February 11 2021

This morning many will wake up to snow or ice in our region. I put a request on Facebook at 2 AM and got hundreds of responses in the first 20 minutes.  Based on reports, and local weather analysis this is the best gage for what you may wake up to. This report includes a round up of local temperatures, Round 2 passing into southern areas tonight, a larger ice storm this weekend, and two more winter events next week.

Note: Baltimore’s BWI reported 2 inch snow depth at 1 AM. That verifies the forecast there, and more snow has been added since. But just a few miles south there was a lot of sleet that mixed in.

Most of the Target Snow Zone has between 2 and 5 inches per early reports.

This may help show where it may be icy or slushy under the snow. I zoomed in to see more local conditions for most of our local counties.

 

How Much Longer?

Radar Loop

Most of the accumulation is done. Light snow showers will continue for a few hours.

 

Radar shows most of the steady snow ending.
Snow showers continue for a few hours… but the accumulation in Central MD hot the mark (except DC) and time to clean up. #FITF pic.twitter.com/70ZW6JOB3T

Round 2 Tonight: South of Washington

This first stronger wave is helping to pull the arctic boundary south tonight. So many of us will miss out. But Southern Maryland gets in on it. A Winter Weather Advisory is in place.

Weekend Ice Storm

• This may be the bigger problem for a larger area.
• As of now it appears to develop Saturday evening and end Sunday morning.
• The early call form the European Model is for up to 1/2 inch of ice.

 

‘Potential’ Ice Accumulation 

 

Next Week: We may have two more winter events.

This is the vague ‘something may happen phase’.  I will have more details on this later.
