Winter Weather Advisory Extended for Central Maryland

Wednesday March 30 2022

Mid Morning Update

Winter Weather Advisory Issued By The National Weather Service

• Light Freezing Rain may produce a glaze of ice:
• In Maryland: Frederick, Carroll, Northern Baltimore, and Northwest Harford Counties.
• Until 11 AM

At 9:27 AM- NWS in State College PA EXPANDED this to finally include Adams, York, and Lancaster as well.

I do not think this will be a big problem. I am just sharing the message from NWS.

Earlier I had mention the higher early Spring sun angle helping. It will! However, after a very cold night and preceding cold days, the ground is cold enough to support icing… especially in shaded areas and north side of hills.

Doppler Radar Snapshot

The showers are moving to the Southeast…

But the entire line is along a Warm Front Moving North.

Once this passes, we get into more seasonal and then much warmer air…

*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.
