NOWCAST and OUTLOOK for today

post made 8:40am

Quick post on the run.

Currently snow falling from northern Garrett and south, and the high ground of Preston and south. Increasing as I type as you go south in the county in to the high Wv locations.

Currently webcams showing bare ground at Keysers Ridge at 2880′ meanwhile a hop skip and jump to Roman Nose at Deep Creek snow sticking down to 2500- 2600′ and above.

Roman Nose nearly half inch at 8:30am at 3000′

Overall temps slightly colder than modeled under the heart of the snow area

The cold pool centered central to Southern Garrett, Preston south in to the higher WV locations

above 3000 at Mt.Davis temps still upper 30s

as you work south, even a decrease in elevation temps come down. Around Bittinger snow is in the air, with possibly some brief light coating.

working south of Bittinger on Rock Lodge at 8am some sticking was occurring

and a bit further south at 8:40pm snow sticking to near 2500′ as seen from Arrowhead with again more up on Roman Nose

The main focus will shift south through the morning where the best of the light accumulations will fall.

Radar

Model output through this afternoon with the brunt over the next several hours

In the snow zone. This isn’t strictly based on elevation as much as it is being under that core of precip that’s aiding in its own cold air. So these amounts are strictly for the snow zone area.

4000′ and above 1-3″ with isolated more under the heart of the action.

3000-4000- 1-2″ with overall snow zone being a touch colder, Narrows the gap through the snowfall zone based on elevation

2500-3000 coating to 1.5 this is Central Garrett and points south

2000-2500 mainly in the air.
