Snow chances fade as storm track shifts east

The latest computer models appear to be converging to take our weekend storm farther east, off the Georgia coast. So forecasters in Sterling this afternoon have been lowering their expectations for snow in Central Maryland late Saturday into Sunday.

The official forecast still holds out a 20 percent chance for snow at BWI-Marshall late Saturday, but that's down from 50 percent earlier in the day. And the afternoon discussion suggests that slim chance is there only because of a single holdout among the models. And that one keeps most of the snow on Delmarva and Southern Maryland.

Our next shot at some pre-Christmas snow in Baltimore will come Monday night or Tuesday, but that clipper system seems to want to slide by to our south, forecasters said.

So perhaps we've dodged the bullet this weekend, and maybe the next one, too. Is this a good thing? Is continued cold weather enough? Or are we still caught up in the excitement of the first snowfalls of the season, and White Christmases and sleigh bells? Do I wear my snow tie next week, or not?
