Discussion

The powerful and slow-moving storm that affected the Mid-Atlantic region with significant rainfall over the weekend is finally pulling away from our region this morning. As colder air wrapped into the system on Sunday and Sunday night, a little bit of snow and sleet fell in the Philly suburbs and more than a little fell in the DC metro region with many of the District suburbs receiving enough wet snow to cover grassy surfaces. The weather will improve noticeably this afternoon throughout the Mid-Atlantic region and tomorrow will turn out to be a nice day. The weather will, however, become quite unsettled for the second half of the week.

Another area of low pressure will move through the Great Lakes region at mid-week on its way to eastern Canada and its associated cold front will pass across our region early Wednesday. The front is then forecast to stall just south of the area later this week. Another low pressure system emerging from the Rockies and moving northeastward toward the Great Lakes should first bring its warm front through the region by Friday with its cold front passing through the region early Saturday.
