Discussion
Another Arctic blast arrives later this week in the Mid-Atlantic region and it’ll be colder than the last one. In fact, temperatures on Thursday and Friday are likely to hold in the 20’s on both days and overnight lows by Friday morning could bottom out in the upper single digits near New York City, near 10 degrees in the Philly metro region, and 15 degrees across DC. This bitter cold, dense Arctic air mass will then begin to retreat on Saturday, but not before moisture reaches us from the Midwest and this potential collision of moisture and retreating Arctic air could lead to snow and/or ice problems in the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor before a late day or nighttime changeover to plain rain.
