December 10 Blizzard Warning For The Mountains While Windy Rain For Most Colder Winds And Weekend Snow Still On
Wednesday Morning December 10
This is going to be a wild day with building winds and brief warming, which will bring most of us rain early afternoon. The mountains will experience colder winds up to 50 mph along with Heavy Snow. The result has prompted a Blizzard Warning. Forecast maps highlight the details below.
Why is this happening? A fast-moving clipper storm is tracking north of us. This will surge warmer winds into the region today and keep the snow north… then eventually west.
This morning, there is some light precipitation in Southern Pennsylvania that might not all reach the ground. If it is, there may be flurries or light freezing drizzle near Lancaster.
A squall line may develop with the cold front when it arrives this afternoon. This will push winds over 40 mph with rain in metro areas…
The Mountains in the Advisories will start with rain, then transition to snow during the day.
SNOW ALERTS
Blizzard Warning is in effect for western Garrett County to West Virginia.
Winds to 50 mph with WHITE OUTS and snow at times falling 1” per hour.

Weekend Forecast (ECMWF): 7 AM Friday to 7 AM Sunday
Two clippers are still expected to cross through the Mid-Atlantic.
The track is looking to move across Maryland with a light snow that may affect Friday overnight to Saturday Morning. Then another on Sunday morning. The second will be the stronger of the two.
Friday Night/Early Saturday
Light Snow overnight into the morning may be enough to coat the ground or bring a light accumulation.
Sunday Morning
This will be the stronger of the two clippers and may affect roads at daybreak.
SNOW ODDS
The CHANCE for 1 inch of snow or more by Sunday.
At this time, Baltimore has a 50% chance for snow to add up 1” or more. It might not sound like much, but that could affect travel.

RESTATING MY MESSAGE ABOUT DYSLEXIA
I am aware there are some spelling and grammar typos and occasional other glitches. I take responsibility for my mistakes and even the computer glitches I may miss. I have made a few public statements over the years, but if you are new here, you may have missed it: I have dyslexia and found out during my second year at Cornell University. It didn’t stop me from getting my meteorology degree and being the first to get the AMS CBM in the Baltimore/Washington region. One of my professors told me that I had made it that far without knowing and to not let it be a crutch going forward. That was Mark Wysocki, and he was absolutely correct! I do miss my mistakes in my own proofreading. The autocorrect spell check on my computer sometimes does an injustice to make it worse. I can also make mistakes in forecasting. No one is perfect at predicting the future. All of the maps and information are accurate. The ‘wordy’ stuff can get sticky. There has been no editor who can check my work while writing and to have it ready to send out in a newsworthy timeline. Barbara Werner is a member of the web team that helps me maintain this site. She has taken it upon herself to edit typos when she is available. That could be AFTER you read this. I accept this and perhaps proves what you read is really from me… It’s part of my charm. #FITF
