Down to 10 degrees in Reisterstown.

Camp David AWOS down to 9

BWI gusted to 54kts!

Truly an artic airmass settling in. Dewpoint down to 7 degrees. Just imagine if we had like 4 inches of snow on the ground.

None of the meso models had this much sun today. I suspect this is helping mix down the winds more effectively.

Hope you get an inch!

Building collapse in Wesminster at the Verizon store on Baltimore Blvd. Fire department confirming significant structural damage from wind.

Thurmont ASOS down to 21.

Wind is //really// kicking up now in New Windsor.

Looks like LWX upped the wind gusts for the NW suburbs to "up to 50mph" with the latest zone forecast product.

Yea I'd saw something like 8am to 10am for the metros.

Real crying shame this coastal low couldn't have developed like 12 hours later and ridden up along that arctic front. Truly that would have been a Top 10 winter event in these part.s

Front really ripping through Indiana, pressing into Ohio now. Even with the muted nighttime temps, there's a pretty rapid 20 to 30 degree temp drop ongoing.

Wind Chill Watch/Advisory/Warning is a long standing product. Prior to today, here is the last time and wind chill product was issued by LWX:

52 in Westminster, 38 in Thurmont. Impressive gradient.

Check out that coastal front. Probably reinforcing the wedge a bit west of I-95.

Meso models are absolutely insistently on a core of 925/850 winds hitting Baltimore region around 12z to 15z. Even BUFKIT has some 70 - 90kt winds just off the deck tomorrow morning.

RTMA analysis shows a temp of 32 in Indianapolis, IN, and 14 in Gary, IN.

The most recently issued product is what is visible "on top". It's like layers on a sandwich. When the "top" product expires, then whatever is "underneath" becomes visible. For example: If NWS issues a Flood Watch at 10:00 am, then a Wind Advisory at 11:00 am, then Wind Advisory becomes visible on the WFO home page. This becomes messy during complicated, changeable storms like the one we are experiencing now, and NWS is aware of this. I've been on a few webinars and completed a few surveys about some possible changes to their interface, and what's potentially coming down the line looks good. I don't know anything else about the nitty gritty.

I tell ya, we get a solid 20 - 40 min of snow as things chill, definitely could see a cluster on the roads. Can't salt anything because of the rain.

@Ralph Wiggum, your coveted FreezinG Spray Advisory! https://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=LWX&wwa=freezing spray advisory

Wind Chill Advisory coming out for DC/Baltimore metros. Should populate on NWS website shortly.

Can we please take the bickering to the banter thread?
