A cold front passed through the region last night and today will be on the chilly side with a stiff NW wind making it feel even colder than the actual air temperatures. Another weak low pressure system could produce a bit of rain on Christmas Day and then a significant winter storm is likely to have an impact at the end of the week. There is potential for substantial snow and/or ice around here by later Friday and Friday night with a strong high pressure system to our north acting as an important source of cold air through the event.

December 1776 was a desperate time for General George Washington and the American Revolution. Morale was low, hope for winning the war was diminishing, and the Continental Army led by George Washington was thinning in numbers after many battles lost to the British. There was even talk of replacing General Washington with either General Charles Lee or General Horatio Gates. December began with lots of rain and muddy travel conditions for the men which did not help with their spirits. After retreating through New Jersey, they set up camp on the Pennsylvania side of the Delaware River where the army was met with very cold weather that led to plenty of ice on the water. All in all, things were not looking good for Washington's army. However, General George Washington devised a plan that would change the course of the war and the history of our nation.

While the nation’s mid-section enjoys rarely ever-seen sustained warmth for the next few days, the northeastern states will continue to experience plenty of winter weather right into the early part of January. One system is bringing some accumulating snow today to the northern Mid-Atlantic region and Northeast US and some interior higher elevation locations will receive several inches. Another storm system is likely to threaten the Mid-Atlantic region and Northeast US on Friday with significant accumulating snow in some areas and substantial icing in others. A key player at the end of the week will be a strong high-pressure system over southeastern Canada which will act as an anchor for low-level Arctic air that can lead to frozen precipitation throughout the Mid-Atlantic region and Northeast US.
Looking ahead to next week, the winter weather pattern is likely to continue across the northeastern states with two major-league Arctic air outbreaks on the table. Both of these Arctic air masses will have originated up across the northwestern part of Canada where temperatures on Monday morning bottomed out at -67.7°F... reportedly the lowest temperature in Canada since January 1999…in other words, get ready, next week’s Arctic invasions might be quite noteworthy.

Low pressure to our north will produce some accumulating snow in the morning of up to a couple of inches and then a mix of rain and snow is likely around mid-day…precipitation winds down in the early-to-mid afternoon hours. After clearing skies tonight, the mid-week looks to be dry and chilly in the NYC metro region and then there can be a touch of light precipitation on Thursday, Christmas Day, from another “clipper” system that moves from northwest-to-southeast. A more impactful low pressure is likely here at the end of the week with significant snow and/or ice on the table as strong high pressure positioned to our north acts as a source of cold air for the northeastern states.

Low pressure to our north will produce occasional rain in the area during the morning hours and there can be some clearing skies by the end of the day. After partly cloudy skies tonight, the mid-week looks to be dry and chilly in the DC metro region and then there can be a touch of rain on Thursday, Christmas Day, from another “clipper” system that moves from northwest-to-southeast. A more impactful low pressure is likely here at the end of the week with ice on the table as strong high pressure positioned to our north acts as a source of cold air for the northeastern states.

Low pressure to our north will produce accumulating snow in the area early today and then a mixed bag of precipitation is likely before it all winds down around mid-day…watch for slick spots through the morning, accumulations of a coating to an inch or so. After clearing skies tonight, the mid-week looks to be dry and chilly in the Philly metro region and then there can be a touch of light precipitation on Thursday, Christmas Day, from another “clipper” system that moves from northwest-to-southeast. A more impactful low pressure is likely here at the end of the week with significant ice or accumulating snow on the table as strong high pressure positioned to our north acts as a source of cold air for the northeastern states.
