An unsettled weather pattern continues this week with a couple of systems to deal with in the Mid-Atlantic region during the next few days. A clipper system will drop south and east across the Great Lakes region and it can produce some snow or a mix of snow and rain around here late tonight with little or no accumulation expected. Yet another system will take a different track on Thursday and move in this direction from the Tennessee Valley and it can produce some rain from later Thursday into Thursday night and its not out of the question that some ice and/or snow can be mixed into the picture.

A clipper system will drop south and east across the Great Lakes region and it can produce some snow around here late tonight into early Wednesday.

Running for his third presidential term, Franklin Roosevelt made a 1940 campaign promise to allow for the training of African American military pilots. In cooperation with the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama which was founded by Booker T. Washington in 1881, the Army created a program in 1941 to induct and train what would eventually amount to more than 14,000 airmen, of whom about 1,000 would become pilots; the others became navigators, bombardiers, radio operators, administrators, support personnel - and some became weathermen.

What may become known as the “Blizzard of 2026” to many in the eastern Mid-Atlantic region begins rather innocuously this morning with plain rain and above freezing temperatures in some areas and a mixture of rain and snow is likely soon in other locations. However, precipitation will change over to all snow by later in the day in most areas, become heavy at times early tonight, and continue into mid-day Monday – a long duration event. In fact, the snow could fall heavy enough tonight in the eastern Mid-Atlantic region to produce 2+ inches per hour and “thundersnow” is on the table. Snowfall amounts in the eastern Mid-Atlantic will become significant with a foot or more in many areas. The DC metro region will escape the significant snowfall amounts coming to the eastern Mid-Atlantic, but at least a few inches are on the table in the nation’s capital. Winds will become a big factor by later tonight and continue strong on Monday resulting in blowing and drifting of snow during the latter stages of the storm. On the heels of the storm, a very cold air mass will flood the eastern US for the first half of the new week.

Major winter storm to slam much of the Mid-Atlantic region…
All-out blizzard conditions in many areas…
Low pressure will intensify rapidly later tomorrow as it pushes slowly northward just off the Mid-Atlantic coastline, and it is going to produce substantial snowfall in some areas and powerful winds as well especially along coastal sections. The precipitation in the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor will begin on Sunday morning as plain rain in some areas, a mixture of rain and snow in others, but all areas will feature a changeover to snow by later Sunday. The snow is likely to fall heavily at times from Sunday evening into mid-day Monday, leading to big-time travel disruptions for the Monday commutes in many areas. On the heels of the storm, a very cold air mass will flood much of the eastern US during the early part of next week.
