Discussion
Low pressure is reforming off of the Mid-Atlantic coastline this morning and the northward advance of the warming has grinded to a halt. In fact, the mid-day and afternoon hours will feature a pickup in the winds and temperatures will begin a downward trend as colder air pushes to the south from the north. As a result, lingering freezing rainfall this morning will likely first mix with and then change to sleet and/or snow during the mid-day and afternoon, and some back end accumulations are even possible before it all ends. Also, roadways can quickly become slick with the dropping temperatures expected later today and tonight following this morning’s rainfall. Low temperatures by early tomorrow are likely to be in the neighborhood of 10 degrees or so in much of the region. After a cold Tuesday, it’ll turn milder on Wednesday before another cold shot arrives in time for Thursday and Friday.
