Update for Thursday Morning

4PM, December 4

The nam still likes a strong line of snow squalls between just before or during the morning commute across all of central MD, while the hrrr has the same line but it’s rain. The NWS has issued a special weather statement for the normally colder areas to the northwest including Carroll and Frederick counties for the possibility of a quick burst of moderate to heavy snow that could cause icy conditions for a short time. If you’re traveling to or from those areas in the morning, you may want to leave a little extra time.

For the rest of us, although it is not likely, it’s possible that the immediate metro areas could also experience a moderate to heavy burst of snow with the passage of the front. Temperatures should be above freezing but be prepared for the possibility of reduced visibility and even slippery conditions during any heavy snow.

If things look more promising for snow, I’ll update again.
