A “clipper” low pressure system dropping southeast from the Great Lakes will combine with an intensifying oceanic low to produce snow in the region from later this morning into early Saturday and it can be mixed with rain at times during the day. Accumulations of snow on the order of a coating to as much as 2 or 3 inches are on the table by early tomorrow morning. As the oceanic low intensifies on Saturday and pulls off to the northeast of here, the coldest air mass of the season so far will pour into the region this weekend. Temperatures on Sunday will be confined to the low-to-mid 20’s for afternoon highs – the coldest day so far this season - and the overnight lows by early Monday morning could be in the upper single digits across some suburban locations.
One final note, for those planning to attend the college football playoff game at Penn State on Saturday (noon start)…bring blankets…high temperatures in the middle 20’s, windy with much lower wind chill values, and maybe a snow shower or two.

A “clipper” low pressure system dropping southeast from the Great Lakes will combine with an intensifying oceanic low to produce a mix of snow and rain in the region from later this morning into late tonight and a coating is possible in many areas by early tomorrow. As the oceanic low intensifies on Saturday and pulls off to the northeast of here, the coldest air mass of the season so far will pour into the region this weekend. Temperatures on Sunday will be confined to the mid-to-upper 20’s for afternoon highs – the coldest day so far this season - and the overnight lows by early Monday morning could be in the lower teens across some suburban locations.

The combination of a weakening “clipper” low pressure system and an intensifying ocean low that is to develop an inverted trough will raise the chance of some accumulating snow from later tomorrow into early Saturday across parts of the Mid-Atlantic region. There can be a coating to as much as 2 or 3 inches of snow by early Saturday across portion of eastern PA, much of New Jersey, and the New York City metro region and a coating of snow is possible as far south as the DC metro region. As the intensifying ocean low exits off to the northeast on Saturday, the door will be open for the coldest air mass of the season to ride into the Mid-Atlantic region on stiffening NW winds. A look ahead to early January suggests there will be the return of “high-latitude blocking” across Canada which tends to favor colder weather in the central and eastern US and teleconnection indices support the notion of an overall colder weather pattern.

Strong upper-level ridging of high pressure dominates the scene across the western US and it’ll provide us with quiet, dry and very mild weather for the next several days. Temperatures will peak around 60 degrees both today and on Friday and shouldn’t be too far from that mark this weekend as well.

It turns cooler today across northern Alabama on the heels of a cold frontal passage and then even colder air moves in by the weekend. A secondary cold front will usher in the colder air mass for the weekend and temperatures will struggle to climb past the middle 40’s on both Saturday and Sunday.

On Friday, a “clipper” low pressure system will drop to the south and east from the Great Lakes region at the same time low pressure starts to form over the western Atlantic Ocean. These two systems may combine to produce rain and/or snow showers in the region early Friday and then snow showers – perhaps even a period of steadier snow – from later Friday into early Saturday. Accumulations of snow on the order of a coating to a couple of inches are on the table by early Saturday morning.
As the low pressure system intensifies on Saturday and pulls off to the northeast of here, the coldest air of the season so far will pour into the region for the latter part of the weekend and early part of next week. Temperatures on Sunday will be confined to the mid-to-upper 20’s for afternoon highs – the coldest day so far this season - and the overnight lows by early Monday morning could be in the lower teens across some suburban locations.

These two systems may combine to produce rain showers in the region early Friday and then rain and/or snow showers from later Friday into late Friday night. Minor snow accumulations are possible in the DC metro region by late Friday night and up to a couple inches can fall across portions of northeastern Maryland.

The combination of a weakening “clipper” low pressure system and an intensifying ocean low that develops an inverted trough will raise the chance of some accumulating snow from later Friday into early Saturday across the northern Mid-Atlantic region to include eastern PA, New Jersey and New York City. Farther to the south, snow showers are possible in the DC metro region by Friday night, but accumulating snow there is less likely than to the north of the PA/MD border. As the intensifying ocean low pulls away to the northeast on Saturday, the coldest air mass of the season so far will ride into the Mid-Atlantic region on stiff northwest winds and the lowest temperatures in this cold snap are likely to occur early Monday morning.
