Doppler Radar Loop
The most intense part for our region will remain across Southern PA, and northern Maryland. A quick coating to 1/2″ of snow is possible.
This will include…
In Maryland: Thurmont, Taneytown, maybe Westminster to Manchester to Hereford in Baltimore County.
In southern PA: Gettysburg, York, Hanover, and Shrewsbury.
UPDATE: There have been repots of VIRGA with the line… Meaning some of the moisture may be drying up before reaching the ground… SO the father east and south this moves, it will be less productive.

*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.
