Incoming Columbia, Ellicott city, Catonsville and NW Baltimore. The band that was overheard here for a while is knocking on your doorstep. 12:15 I’d say

I have trust issues with banding...lol Been so long since I actually got under one without it weakening when it get here

Nothing but rain in Baltimore City (just walked from Penn Station to JHU Homewood area)

Really? I'm not far from Morgan and it's mostly snow with maybe a little bit of rain hanging on. Can barely hear it now

Temperature descent started after 10...down to 34 now. Looks to be mainly snow

I’m pretty much out of patience with the storm

I'm finding that when ya stare at it too long that tends to happen more. Maybe the secret is...don't stare too much?

If you were at 27 it would be congrats Bob chill lol

Yeah you right, lol

Rain in Baltimore to start...but I think I see some wet flakes mixing in

Oy...I'm gonna say it's 36 because BWI says it is, lol (not sure I wanna invest in a weather station unless the price is reasonable).

Maybe it will take a little more for the city...still at 38 here it seems.

He's in Philly.

Yes I realized that a few mins ago, haha

It’s gotten rain right more often than not in recent years at the local level.

But why use that when we have access to all the actual weather models themselves? I mean you know how to use TT (tropicaltidbits) and pivotal's sites, right?

I mean I think this is a bit worse though not majorly so. It has weaker temp advection so the first band fails to take off till a little bit later. 

Yeah use caution when saying things like that--this is a jumpy forum close to gametime, lol

Oh I just learned about all those fun things, especially the sub vs super geostrophic wind balance and how that leads to the Jet behavior and associated convergence and divergence alongside baroclinicity of shortwaves passing through isotherms. 

And this is all from the same course? Man...I'd love to take a course like that just to learn some basics.

The product is "Lightning flash density" and thus with lightning would come thunder!

Ohhh!! Now why in the world would they make that the same color as snow? That's what I thought I was looking at--not cool WB, haha (in retrospect that wouldn't make sense but still--choose yellow for crying out loud )

Keeps thundersnow dreams alive as well

Now what do you see there that would say thundersnow? (Real question not sarcasm, lol)

There's that elusive 5 inch snow mark!

39 here...I mean that's not that far to go to get to freezing if it doesn't go any higher. A couple models have cut back slightly due to mixing but if that above freezing layer is shallow like @WxUSAF pointed out...you'd think that wouldn't be much of an issue where I am.

Just my opinion, but if there's going to be doom and screw job posts, can we put them in the panic room?  

Ha...role reversal right? Lol

Latest HRRR at H18 (snow still falling) - actually seems in line with Euro.

So the slight drop off isn't so much temperatures as it is where the precip sets up?

Initial call. A lot could change as this is really a nowcast event, so I feel like I’m really sticking my neck out on this one. I’d also add an inch over the delmarva east of the bay north of 50

 

Move that purple line an inch south would ya?

Ukmet makes no friends for dc area. 

It's still the only one showing temperature problems. I mean any random trend can happen...but with zero support of that less than 24 hours away, it's hard to give it any credence.

this is better than 06z for almost everyone here 

Weenie run for Baltimore!
