Late Morning Update
Last night when I issued my First Call For Snowfall, I mentioned that if it busts it would be for more snow. Earlier this morning I wrote about additional data into the storm formation region. Hurricane Hunter Reconnaissance Flights off the east coast fed into computer modeling supports the track closer to the coast. The result would be bumped up snow totals. I am working on my new snow map now.
This also EXPANDS the Blizzard Warning farther west. It now includes Maryland’s Salisbury, Pocomoke City, and Crisfield. In Delaware from the beach now to all of Sussex County!
We may see The Winter Weather Advisories expand a little inland as well. Stay tuned.
STILL MUCH MORE AT THE COAST!
12 PM Fri to 12 PM Sat
Radar AND Temperatures
The impact region-wide will be late evening to early morning. So this midnight time frame supports who will be in on the accumulating snow.
Cold enough for full sticks, even with blowing snow over treated areas.
At 7 AM Saturday, most of our region will ‘FEEL LIKE’ near or below ZERO!
7 PM FRI to 7 PM Sat
Increasing at the end of the storm through most of Saturday AFTER the storm move away.
BLOWING AND DRIFTING!
It is possible for SNOW DRIFTS in on Delmarva near the coast to be 2 to 3 Feet!
Wind Forecast NAM 3 Km
This is one of many model to consider for snow totals.
The beaches in the blizzard zone could earlier reach 1 Foot, but it will be blowing and drifting a lot. Drifts up to 2 or 3 feet are very plausible.
Farther west, the main boost is the 2 to 4 inches for metro Baltimore and Washington.
I will be upping my map shortly. This is criteria for the Winter Weather Advisory from NWS to be expanded west. I will let you know when they make that call.
This is what I shared in my first morning report.
Obviously these are MUCH HIGHER for the beaches.
Regardless, it will be hard to measure with the blowing and drifting.
Stay tuned…
Working on my new snow map now. I will issue that around noon.
Faith in the Flakes!
*Disclaimer due to frequent questions:
I am aware there are some spelling and grammar typos. I have made a few public statements over the years, but if you are new here you may have missed it:
I have dyslexia, and found out at my second year at Cornell. I didn’t stop me from getting my meteorology degree, and being first to get the AMS CBM in the Baltimore/Washington region.
I do miss my mistakes in my own proofreading. The autocorrect spell check on my computer sometimes does an injustice to make it worse.
All of the maps and information are accurate. The ‘wordy’ stuff can get sticky.
There is no editor that can check my work when I need it and have it ready to send out in a newsworthy timeline.
I accept this and perhaps proves what you read is really from me…
It’s part of my charm.
