Friday Morning Early Snow And Weather Set Up

Friday January 7 2022

Morning update at 5:20 AM

We had an overachiever snow event. Most areas did hit the snow forecast, but there was a band of heavy snow west and north of Baltimore that pushed up to 5 or 6 inches. That was the report between Frederick to Westminster and Baltimore County’s Hereford Zone.

My Snow Pic

Doppler Radar Loop: 1 AM to 5 AM

The dry bubble busted for metro areas. Heavy snow rates fell at 1”/Hr at times.

As of this morning the snow is on schedule moving east across the Bay.

Morning Surface Weather

Slow travel up I-95 to Philadelphia – New York – and New England.

Cold winds will build in behind this storm all day!

Radar Simulation: 5 AM to Noon

This is a quick mover and will be long gone by sunrise. It will be ending in Boston around noon.

Morning Temperatures 

This supports full stickage.

The snow is easy to push, but a layer of ice may be underneath from initial melting. 

Wind Forecast

Winds will increase by noon from the Northwest averaging 15 to 20 mph. The fluffy snow will be blowing and drifting.

Afternoon Wind Gusts

Afternoon Wind Chill

Looking Ahead: Sunday

Cold enough…

There may be a band of freezing rain near and NW of Baltimore with the morning arrival, the thawing in the afternoon.

I will have more on that in my next report
