Discussion

Another Arctic blast has arrived with snow showers likely and a quick coating is possible in areas to the N and W of the District. Winds will pick up as the day progresses and temperatures will slowly drop into the 20’s. By late tonight, low temperatures could actually dip into the upper single digits in some suburban locations and wind chill values will be below zero. Friday remains cold, but there will be a noticeable moderation in temperatures on Saturday. That moderation will be short-lived; however, as another cold shot will arrive later in the weekend leading to an extended period of unsettled weather. Rain or a mixed bag of precipitation is possible on Sunday and then, as it turns colder early next week, the threat for snow will increase as low pressure tries to organize near the Mid-Atlantic coastline.
