Mesoscale Discussion 2241

1256 PM CST Fri Nov 22 2024

Areas affected...the higher terrain across western
Pennsylvania...northern West Virginia...and far western Maryland.

Concerning...Heavy snow 

Valid 221856Z - 222300Z

SUMMARY...Snowfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour this afternoon
and evening.

DISCUSSION...Snowfall rates have increased across the central
Appalachians in western Pennsylvania, northern West Virginia, and
far western Maryland as upslope flow strengthens and temperatures
cool aloft. The strongest west-northwesterly flow (45 to 50 knots)
will persist through 06Z before weakening. Snowfall rates of 1 to 2
inches per hour are expected through much of this period. Some snow
is expected at lower elevation/valley locations, but a marginal
thermodynamic environment should limit snowfall accumulation rates
at these lower elevations. 

In addition, some blizzard conditions are possible at the highest
peaks where 50+ knots of winds are occurring and expected to
continue through the overnight period.
