Doug Kammerer of NBC4 has released his winter outlook, which is currently only available on NBC4 newscasts. In the outlook he projects as much as 38-52 inches for places like Frederick and Hagerstown, 30-40 inches for places like Gaithersburg, Leesburg, and Rockville, and 22-30 inches for Bethesda, DC, and Prince George’s County.
Kammerer had some of the lowest snow totals projected for last winter, and provided one of the most accurate outlooks for the 2022-2023 winter. This year, he’s going the other way. In a Facebook Live following a 6:50 presentation of the 2023-2024 Winter Outlook, he stated that “if this sets up correctly, we can see more than predicted.”
Kammerer explained that the El Niño pattern fits for “big east coast snow storms.” When asked about the first snow, he stated that he expects it to come in December but that he isn’t quite sold on December, explaining that late January into February lines up. Because the El Niño pattern brings above average temperatures, many storms will be rain, but Kammerer says that when the cold air makes its way down from Canada and locks in, we will see storms that start as snow and end as snow as opposed to the changeovers we are used to.
When asked about snow days, he says he can see 5-7 for areas like Loudoun County and Frederick County and 4-5 in the city. We’ll provide a more detailed analysis’ once the outlook is available online at www.NBCwashington.com
