Discussion

High pressure will drift off the northeastern US coastline over the next couple of days and this will allow for some continued moderation in our temperatures. Moisture will push in our direction from the southern states late in the week and showers should break out here from late Friday into Saturday. A second and more important system is likely to throw rain our way late Saturday into early Sunday - some heavy at times - and then much colder air will follow for early next week. A reinforcing second blast of Arctic air will arrive here by the middle of next week. This mid-week Arctic frontal passage will have plenty of upper-level support which could result in snow showers or perhaps even snow squalls in some of the Mid-Atlantic region.
