The FV3 Makes a Move

Hopefully, I’m not cluttering anyone’s email, but the old GFS and the Euro still have not come around to the idea of a snowstorm for central MD this weekend.  However, this morning’s experimental FV3 is a great hit for all of northern VA and MD and even southern PA (again, the FV3 will be replacing the current GFS early next year). Snow begins Sunday morning, is heavy during the afternoon and evening, ending early Monday.  Snow maps at this range are silly, but it would definitely be a major event for the area.

Though one event should not be used to crown a particular model suite, it will be interesting to watch and see how all of this plays out.  In the meantime, an arctic front crosses the area tomorrow bringing fresh cold air, brisk winds, and the possibility of snow showers.  Beyond tomorrow, clear skies and cold temperatures in to the weekend.
