2/24/10: Forecast – Snow Tonight and Thursday

After bringing the very strong low pressure center much closer to our area yesterday, the models have again backed off and it now appears that we will only have to deal with a glancing blow as the storm intensifies to our north. I still expect a decent snowstorm for northeastern Maryland and strong gusty winds to effect the entire area.

The storm will come in two phases… A light rain/snow mix will develop tonight, changing to all snow with light accumulations for most of the state. The second part will be when the low strengthens to our north and brings additional snows to the northeastern portion of the state tomorrow afternoon and evening.

Here is my forecast map:
