...POTENTIAL WINTER COMMUTING HAZARD FOR THE NORTHERN BALTIMORE
MD SUBURBS FRIDAY MORNING...
There is a potential for hazardous commuting conditions for the
Friday morning commute. A period of light snow is POSSIBLE (a 30
50 percent chance) Friday morning across the northern Baltimore MD
suburbs, with a coating of accumulation possible on area roads.
If this threat does materialize during the Friday morning rush-hour,
many roads could quickly turn icy. This could lead to dangerous
traveling conditions, multiple accidents, and extensive delays.
If commuting Friday morning, be aware of the POSSIBILITY of
significant travel disruptions. Plan ahead by allowing for extra
travel time, and consider using public transportation and telework
options.
Stay tuned for updates on this potential winter weather episode.

..POTENTIAL REMAINS FOR SIGNIFICANT LONG DURATION SNOW EVENT LATE
THIS WEEKEND...
Multiple systems look to move through the region this coming
weekend. Temperatures and snow levels are expected to steadily
fall starting on Saturday through the weekend over the northern
panhandle.
Current forecast confidence is not high enough for warning level
snowfall moving toward the NE Gulf Coast and the Icy Strait
Corridor, including Juneau, Gustavus, Hoonah, and Yakutat. This is
primarily due to the timing challenge of when the transition from
rain to snow occurs and the amount of resulting accumulating
snowfall expected thereafter. However, forecast confidence remains
high on this staying a longer duration event through the weekend
once snowfall starts, with snow and colder temperatures continuing
to move southward across the panhandle into early next week.
Stay tuned to the forecast over the coming days as forecast
confidence improves on the extent and timing of this system.

...Very Cold and Windy This Weekend...
A very cold Arctic airmass will drift south over the area Thursday
through this weekend. This, combined with high pressure building
to the north, will bring very cold conditions along with
increasing northeast winds and very cold wind chills. Hills will
likely see northeast winds gusting to 30 mph with temperatures in
the teens below zero, bringing wind chills as cold as 50 below
zero. Areas of blowing snow are possible as well. Valley
temperatures will drop into the 20s and 30s below zero with
intermittent wind gusts mixing out the inversion to bring brief
periods of warmer temperatures, but still very cold wind chills.
This looks to be the beginning of a prolonged period of very cold
conditions with the Arctic airmass and clear skies sticking
around through next week. As winds diminish toward the early to
middle part of next week, valley temperatures in the 40s and 50s
below zero are not out of the question.
