The next big weather event in the Mid-Atlantic region will feature rain associated with a strong cold front and there can even be a thunderstorm in the mix before the frontal system clears the area. The rain can come down hard at times from late Thursday night into Friday morning and - given the current snow cover in much of the area – we’ll have to watch for the possibility of some localized flooding. The strong cold front will pass through the Mid-Atlantic region during Friday morning, and strong winds will develop on its backside from a northwesterly direction gusting to 40 mph or so...even higher wind gusts are likely across New England. In addition, temperatures are likely to drop markedly as the cold air mass pours into the region and snow showers are likely to develop; especially, in some of the higher elevation interior locations. The weather will settle down for the weekend with dry conditions expected on both days and a moderate chill in the air.

Another cold day is in store for the Mid-Atlantic region today as high pressure slowly shifts to our south before weakening and pushing offshore on Wednesday. A warm front will push northward through the area by Thursday and temperatures should reach the low-to-mid 50’s for afternoon highs. An active cold front will slide across the region late Thursday night and rain is likely into the early morning hours on Friday. On the heels of the cold frontal passage, winds will pick up noticeably on Friday and (moderately) colder air will make a return into the northeastern part of the country.

It won’t be as cold today as recent days with high pressure pushing off to the east of here and opening the door for a low-level (milder) southerly flow of air. It stays relatively mild at mid-week and then a cold front will approach later Thursday. That front can bring shower and thunderstorm activity to the area on Thursday afternoon and evening before cooler air returns for the end of the week.

Arctic air pushed into the region on Sunday on the heels of the snow associated with a “clipper” system and it’ll stay quite cold through tomorrow with well below-normal temperatures for the middle of December. There is an upper-level disturbance that will push near the area later today and a couple of snow showers cannot be ruled out for later today; primarily, across the far northern and western suburban locations. High pressure will be in control at mid-week and it’ll turn slightly milder and then a strong cold front enters the scene on Thursday night. That frontal system can bring soaking rain to the area - perhaps even a thunderstorm - and the winds will get very strong by Friday as colder air pushes into the northeastern states (moderately cold air mass this time).

Arctic air pushed into the region on Sunday on the heels of the latest “clipper” system and it’ll stay quite cold right through tomorrow with well below-normal temperatures for the middle of December. High pressure will be in control at mid-week and it’ll turn slightly milder and then a strong cold front enters the scene on Thursday night. That frontal system can bring soaking rain to the area - perhaps even a thunderstorm - and the winds will get very strong by Friday as colder air pushes into the northeastern states (moderately cold air mass this time).

A chilly start to the new work week, but milder weather is on the way. Today’s high temperatures will be confined to the lower 40’s, but we’ll likely reach the 60’s by Thursday ahead of the next cold front. That front can bring shower and thunderstorm activity to the area later Thursday and Thursday night before cooler air returns for the end of the week.
