Classic east influence. Big Savage thick fog,50s. Max low 50s there I believe. Will try to find out. As you go west, blue sky at Friendsville. Sun at Cranesville. In Garrett County, Negro Mt is typically that fog cutoff and was so once again. West of that, much nicer than east. In Canaan. Cabin Mt and east, held fog longer than Cabin and west. Some impressive pics on social media of that fog bank. Further south that easterly influence as typical affects Snowshoe area much more than Canaan that seems to get that SW punch in all the time. So Friday was a tale of 2 worlds in short distances.
* Savage Mt maxed out at 54.3° after dark. Held 49-53° all day.
Valley Floor minimum occured 11:59pm under likely some clear skies there.

For fun….Euro ensemble mean/control snowfall 15 days..basically 2 weeks out. Gfs too has been consistent with threat in that time period. Being so far out, anything can occur….

Cloudy early, scattered shower north. Then mix of clouds and sun.
Snippets of todays theme. The effect of wind direction, elevation. Across Garrett County Md sky conditions from Big Savage to Friendsville were exact opposites(well at Big Savage you could not see the sky) The influence there was easterly, moist, cooler….while west, and south the southwesterly breeze was in affect. Sky conditions were partly cloudy after the morning rains for a period before more rain pushed through. Then a return to the setup. Sun, fog….further south, the Wv highground ran milder than the lowlands east.

This rain helped end a stretch of very dry weather. A dry stretch overall since Sept 5. That allowed area waterways to go below normal. This recent rain bounced waterways back to normal and just above for the date. Which this time of year, is a low water time typically anyhow.
Also to note- this assisted nicely in helping the North Fork Mt wildfire.
(some more tonight into tomorrow)
