Discussion

Very cold conditions will continue today in the Mid-Atlantic region with afternoon temperatures generally confined to the 20’s, but they will relax a tad on Wednesday ahead of a weak system that could produce light snow around here tomorrow night. The big story is the potential for a late week major storm as low pressure pulls out of the south-central states and intensifies explosively near the Mid-Atlantic coastline this weekend. The potential is there for significant snowfall up and down the I-95 corridor from DC-to-Boston in the Friday/Saturday time period which could include some serious blowing and drifting as winds will get quite strong.
