Blizzard of 93

That storm that you mention late next week into next weekend needs watched for CTP winter storm potential. It would not take much with the right track and timing to pull the available cold air into the storm.

The 18z GEFS is on board as well for the early week snow chance. Several of the individual ensemble members are juiced up.

The 18z GFS Para is on board as well but brings lighter amounts of snow this run.

The 18z GFS still brings snow on Monday pm to the southern half of PA into MD and northern VA. I hear the snow train approaching!

I really like seeing the 3 inch snow line well into Virginia at this time on all of the major ensembles!

The 12z GEFS, Canadian ensembles and EPS say to load up the snow train next week!

This is fantastic! Well done! I Hope next week we will be back to Winter Weather Advisories!

Harrisburg averages over 5 inches of snow in March and a few tenths in April. We still have a solid month in which we could score measurable snow!

Last year we had good snow showers in early May!

Just a few years ago in 2017 and 2018, we had our largest snow events of the season during the last 2 weeks of March. Both of these events delivered over a foot of snow to the Harrisburg area. We are already above normal snow for the season in our region this year, but I certainly wouldn’t mind adding some stat padding snows in the next few weeks! It is not time to punt! I want at least 1 more snow train ride!

Here is that 18z GFS! Nice....! I am going post these while I can. We are in the 4th quarter of the season and the clock is ticking. Win or lose, I plan on enjoying these last few weeks of tracking!

The 12z EPS is on board the snow chance train!

I’m on the @Wmsptwx train! March snow is on the way after this warm week!

Sure, winter is over... really?!?!? You were just saying the other day that you expect more snow this month!

The 12z GEFS is on board the snow train as well. I am keeping the train theme going. It served us very well in February! Here is the 12z GEFS through the early next week threat and then the full 16 day run. The 6 inch snow line has made it just south of I-80 and into the I-99 corridor for the full run. This is the best GEFS run since our final event in February!

I would take this 12z GFS and hop on the train! This is next Sunday and Monday.

Perfect... I like him being out!

Snow flurries currently in Marysville.

The 0z Euro Control run is too good not to post. It has 2 winter storms that track under us and reach the coast. We would all be buried in snow again if this somehow verified. I would be more than good with half of this!

The 0z EPS and 6z GEFS are showing the potential of the coming final snow train ride of the winter.

That’s right where I want the bullseye at this range!

Ok, alright, I won’t hold back the snow map....it is Happy Hour after all!

The 18z Happy Hour GFS delivered your storm! This would be a blockbuster snowstorm! The MJO & EPO forecast support the chance. Only 300 hours to go....!

This look that the EPS has been advertising for a few days now could bring a cold pattern with Winter Storm chances for our region. There is ridging in Alaska which will feed the cold air pressing into the trough in the east. The ridge off of the east coast is forced well to the south and east, but nearby enough to prevent storms from being suppressed. The MJO and EPO that I just posted above support this developing wintry pattern. I think that we will be actively tracking a specific winter storm threat for the week of the 15th to the 20th!

Here are a couple of things that could help the snow & cold train later next week and beyond. The MJO is rolling into Phase 1 towards phase 2, which are very good for a cold and stormy pattern. Also, the EPO looks to be heading negative which will help to get & maintain a cold pattern in the east.
