SNOWFALL UPDATE 1: TOTAL SNOW AMOUNTS FROM LATE FRIDAY THRU SATURDAY IN THE BALTIMORE AREA SHOULD RANGE BETWEEN TWO AND FOUR INCHES WITH HIGHEST AMOUNTS TO THE SOUTHERN AND EASTERN MOST SECTIONS OF MARYLAND SINCE THE LARGEST AMOUNTS OF SNOW BETWEEN EIGHT AND SIXTEEN INCHES ARE NOW EXPECTED TO BE CENTERED MOSTLY IN NORTH AND CENTRAL VIRGINIA BUT PERHAPS EXTENDING TO NEAR OCEAN CITY IN MARYLAND (UPDATED AT 1100 PM EST ON 01/28/10)
SNOWFALL UPDATE 2: ALL THRU MARYLAND TOTAL SNOWFALL ALONG AND SOUTHEAST OF 95 SHOULD RANGE FROM FOUR TO EIGHT INCHES WITH LOCALLY UP TO TWELVE INCHES BUT MOST TWELVE INCH AMOUNTS SHOULD STAY IN LOWER SOUTHERN MARYLAND AND THE LOWER EASTERN SHORE FROM OCEAN CITY TO RICHMOND WHERE EIGHT TO TWELVE INCHES ARE EXPECTED AND KEEP IN MIND THAT A QUICK DROP IN AMOUNTS IS LIKELY NORTHWEST OF 95 AS I EXPECT FLURRIES AT BEST ONCE NORTH OF YORK AND PHILADELPHIA IN PENNSYLVANIA AS TEMPS HOLD MOSTLY IN THE MID TO UPPER TEENS THRU THE ENTIRE ALL SNOW EVENT IN MOST OF NORTH CENTRAL MARYLAND AND VIRGINIA (UPDATED AT 1100 PM EST ON 01/29/10)
SNOWFALL UPDATE 3: THE BALTIMORE AND ANNAPOLIS AREA SHOULD RANGE FROM SIX TO TEN INCHES AS WELL AS IN NORTHERN VIRGINIA AND THE DELMARVA WITH LESS NORTH AND WEST OF 95 AND THE PENNSYLVANIA BOARDER … AS SNOW EXITS WEST TO EAST JUST AFTER MIDNIGHT MY CURRENT THOUGHT IS FOR EIGHT TO TEN INCH TOTALS AT BWI (UPDATED AT 1100 AM EST ON 01/30/10)
NOTES: (1) IF THE HIGEST SNOW TOTALS ARE NOT REACHED IN MARYLAND IT WILL ONLY BE BECAUSE THEY WERE FOCUSED MORE TO THE SOUTH IN SAY SOUTH CENTRAL VIRGINIA AND NORTHWESTERN MOST NORTH CAROLINA BUT THEY DO LOOK TO ME ANYWAYS TO BE FOCUSED MORE OVER THE BALTIMORE AND WASHINGTON AREA !!! (2) ALSO THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY OF ANOTHER SIGNIFIGANT SNOWFALL IN THE MARYLAND AREA BY THE FRIDAY OR SATURDAY OF SUPERBOWL WEEKEND SO PLEASE PREPARE FOR THAT IN YOUR SUPERBOWL PLANS AND CHECK BACK HERE LATER NEXT WEEK FOR DETAILS ON THAT STORM SYSTEM IF IT ACTUALLY MATERIALIZES SINCE IT IS SO FAR AWAY AT THIS TIME AND THE FORECAST DETAILS ARE VERY LIKELY TO CHANGE BY THEN !!!
