Maryland and Pennsylvania Face a Third Straight Night of Light Snow as Overnight System Shifts North
PENNSYLVANIA — A subtle but persistent winter pattern continues overnight as Maryland and Pennsylvania prepare for a third consecutive round of light snow, with flurries or a light coating possible as a weak system shifts north between midnight and early morning hours.
Overnight Timing and Snow Potential
Forecast guidance shows the best window for snow developing between 12 a.m. and 4 a.m., with activity gradually expanding northward overnight. While widespread accumulation is not expected, localized coatings and brief bursts of snow remain possible, especially if snow bands hold together longer than currently projected.
Snow Amounts Expected to Remain Minimal
At this time, snowfall totals are expected to remain a coating to under one inch, with some locations potentially seeing nothing more than intermittent flurries. Forecast confidence remains moderate, as small changes in track or timing could slightly increase or decrease totals.
Why Forecasters Are Still Watching Closely
Recent model trends show the system continuing to shift north, increasing the chance of partial interaction between a southern disturbance and northern jet energy. This type of partial phasing, while limited, is enough to keep snow chances alive overnight even without a strong storm signal.
Saturday Night Still Under Monitoring
Attention is also turning to Saturday night, as additional adjustments in the upper-level pattern could introduce another opportunity for light snow. While confidence remains low at this range, forecasters note that continued northward shifts would bring Maryland and Pennsylvania back into play once again.
This remains a low-impact winter setup, but the persistence of multiple light snow events highlights how even minor systems can continue to influence travel and overnight conditions. Forecast updates are expected as models refine the overnight evolution.
