Tuesday November 2

That’s snow in them that hills. As expected a chilly rain is moving in today, but above 2,000 Ft there is snow falling on the mountains. Temps are above freezing, but some stockage is possible there- and I will certainly show any photos I can find!

Overnight into Wednesday Morning: Freeze Warnings and Frost Advisories have been issued. I expect this may be expanded even further. See the maps below.

It’s Time: Bring in plants and disconnect garden hoses before the end of day.

Morning Surface Weather

This is not a strong system, but it will be very noticeable. It if is not wet when you get started, it will move in during the morning, and last into the afternoon. Snow is just showing up in the higher mountains, but should expand through Garrett County after sunrise… so we may be able to see it. 

Morning Temperatures

What to wear?

A few layers and a waterproof/rain jacket.

Radar Simulation 

Waiting for daylight… I will share the snow cams later this morning.

Wednesday Afternoon

Remaining chilly with most areas staying in the 40s to near 50ºF.

Looking Ahead:

The storm we expected for the end of the week may get suppressed to the south. However, here we see the GFS Model keeping it close enough to turn up the coast and bring some rant Southern Maryland Saturday.  

This is like watching a winter event that models lose and then bring back confusing everyone. I will watch this closely as it might give hints to model errors that could repeat next season. 

Simulation Thursday to Saturday 

7 Day Forecast

The Freeze/Frost is likely to repeat Thursday morning, and then stay chilly into the weekend. After the close event Saturday, temps will modify early next week.
