A strong cold front passed through the region on Thursday and it’ll remain chilly and increasingly windy as we end the work week with some sunshine followed by increasing clouds. The weekend starts off on the cool, breezy side and then clouds will increase on Sunday ahead of the next cold front. That next cold front will be associated with a powerful Great Lakes storm system and be intense likely resulting in heavy rain and strong winds around here from later Sunday night into Monday night and there is the potential of strong-to-severe thunderstorm activity. Much colder air will follow the cold frontal passage for Tuesday and Wednesday.

An intense cold front barreled through the Mid-Atlantic region earlier today and temperatures have dropped sharply from early day highs in the 60’s and should reach the middle 30’s by early-to-mid afternoon. Rain is abundant on the back side of the front and - as colder air becomes better established - a changeover to snow is going to take place in many of the same areas of the Mid-Atlantic region that experienced 80-degree high temperatures during the past couple of days. Any snow that falls this afternoon will be of the heavy, wet variety and can certainly cling easily to grassy surfaces.
Over the weekend, another strong cold front will enter the weather picture as it moves to the nation’s midsection with a widespread colder-than-normal air mass on its backside and charging to the south and east. A strong storm system is likely to form along the frontal boundary zone as upper-level support arrives, and the Great Lakes may end up with an all-out blizzard come Sunday night and Monday with plenty of snow and powerful winds. In fact, there can be accumulating snow and strong winds in this same Great Lakes region on Friday from a clipper-system and this would precede the potential blizzard. The intense cold front will bring heavy rain and strong winds to the Mid-Atlantic region/Northeast US on Monday and there can be strong-to-severe thunderstorm activity…much colder air will follow for Tuesday and Wednesday.

An intense cold front will barrel through the region early today and it will result in some dramatic temperature changes and likely lead us to some wet snow. After the record warmth of the past couple of days, a much colder air mass will push into the area this morning and temperatures should plunge to the 30’s by the afternoon hours. Rain will begin the day, but should mix with and then change to wet snow as temperatures drop sharply and a coating of snow is possible. It stays chilly on Friday and cool to begin the upcoming weekend with generally dry conditions expected on both Friday and Saturday. Another strong cold front will cross the region on Monday accompanied by periods of rain and strong winds and a widespread cold air outbreak arrives on Monday night and Tuesday.

The winter of 1992-1993 was not bad at all in the Mid-Atlantic region in terms of cold and snow, but one storm at the end of the season will put that particular winter in the history books forever. One of the most intense storms ever observed in the eastern US took place from March 12-14, 1993 and it will be forever known as the “Storm of the Century”. This intense storm generated tremendous snowfall totals from Alabama through Maine, high winds all along the east coast, extreme coastal flooding along the Florida west coast and incredibly low barometric pressures across the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions. The aftermath of the “Storm of the Century” was unseasonably cold and broke records in many spots for the middle of March. To this day, the storm also known as the “Superstorm of 1993” ranks among the deadliest and most costly weather events in US history.

The overall pattern continues to feature dry, windy and unseasonably warm weather across the region with a prolonged risk of wildfire conditions. One brief change to the pattern will come later in the weekend as a cold frontal system will produce much cooler conditions and perhaps even some snow in the lower elevations...turns much warmer again next week.
