Discussion
A fast-moving impulse of energy will generate some light snow shower activity around here from mid-morning into early afternoon and then, as a reinforcing cold air mass approaches the region late tonight, a wave of low pressure will form just off the Mid-Atlantic coastline. Snow is likely to break out late tonight and continue into Wednesday morning as this low pressure system organizes near the coast and small accumulations are possible on the order of a coating to an inch or so. Once this mid-week low pressure system departs, very cold air that had its origins in Siberia will move into the Mid-Atlantic region.
Looking ahead, two storms will slam into California later this week and they will subsequently cross the country in a west-to-east fashion. The first and weaker system could spread some light snow into the eastern states early this weekend and then the second and stronger system could play an important role here in the Mid-Atlantic region late in the weekend or early next week.
