Discussion
A cold front is approaching the Mid-Atlantic region and rain showers are possible at just about anytime today. Temperatures are low enough this morning for some of the rain to freeze on untreated surfaces so watch out for potential icing during the next few hours. By later today and early tonight, any shower activity that takes place should be in the form of "plain" rain. As far as the late week threat is concerned, it appears that a storm system will form over the Atlantic Ocean, but it should stay well east of here and not have an impact on the region.
