Heavy Snow Falling

Just wanted to let everyone know a Winter Storm Warning is in effect now until 2PM Monday. I expect 6-10'' in Baltimore, 8-12'' in Dundalk, and Locally in these areas 15'' is not entirely out of the question. Also, the wind will kick in soon and cause near blizzard/whiteout conditions when combines with the heavy snow. Stay tuned, as this is a Major Winter Storm. Schools will be closed tomorrow, about a 100% chance of that.

Good Morning, WINTER STORM WARNING

Hey, got up early for you guys. The NWS has issued a WINTER STORM WARNING TO REPLACE THE WATCH. It says 4-6 inches in the western suburbs, 6-10 near Baltimore and along I-95 with 12'' possible east of there. Dundalk may see a foot. I have a eerly feeling, hopefully thats all it is. SNOW IS COMING :) :) :) Blizzard Conditions also likely tonight into tomorrow morning. Also, I picked up 0.8'' of snow, its to get you prepared, trust me. The Baroclinic zone setup along with where we get the deformation band will be huge in who sees the highest amounts. Also, the comma head setup looks to hit DC/MD especially hard. I will update later with progress on the storm.

Oh quick note, this may bust high by the NWS, I sure hope thats not the case.

HERE WE GO, STAGE 5 ALERT, GAME ON

Stage 5 alert, up to 13 inches of snow here per 00z runs of GFS and NAM. Local news stations are saying 3-6, Justin Berk is closer w/4-8. I think that I may bust high, so watch out but I now think 8-12'' is likely for Dundalk with upwards of 10 inches in the city itself. Near Blizzard Conditions are also possible tomorrow night. Please Please Please stay tuned. This is a significant winter storm, not just accumulating snow in my mind. Be ready for 6+ inches tomorrow night into Monday. Expect the NWS to upgrade the WSWatch for the Baltimore area, should be updated to a warning when you wake up tomorrow morning or around noon. The point and click forecast for Dundalk is for 4-9'' of snow.

Alerts

Extended School Closing Warning- Schools are likely to close Tomorrow due to the likelihood of an early start to the snow. The school systems should also close Wednesday due to the icing problems Tomorrow night. Hopefully schools will close and not open at all Tomorrow to avoid an event like the Valentine's Day Massacre 2007.

STAGE 3 ALERT- Significant Winter storm, (for Snow, Sleet, and Ice)

Winter Storm Warning- My statement: Their is the likelighood of accumulating snow and ice for the area which will cause significant problems. This is for all counties in the Watch except for the District of Columbia, and (I will put PG and AA in it, may need to be removed.) There is a distinct possibilty that the models are underdoing the 2-4'' snowfall in the region and overdoing the warm air. I believe the snow and ice will not change to plain rain Baltimore North and West. There is a chance for 4-6'' of snow and sleet in the heaviest bands and over .2'' of ice in the heaviest areas. This will be a 2 pronged event. There is also a chance for back-end snow, more on that later. Expect updates. (3 AM Tuesday-9PM Wednesday)
