Discussion
Colder air moved into the Mid-Atlantic region on Thursday and it’ll stick around right through the upcoming weekend. High pressure building eastward from the Ohio Valley should keep us dry today, tomorrow and Sunday, but also quite chilly for early December. By Sunday night and Monday, moisture will advance towards us from both the Deep South and the Great Lakes and it could result in some sleet or rain late at night into early Monday. More significant moisture could reach us on Tuesday which could result in another decent rainfall. This same system is likely to produce additional beneficial rains for the south-central and southeast US before heading our way. Looking ahead, a widespread Arctic blast of colder-than-normal air will cross the nation next week and likely arrive here around Friday and it could be preceded by rain and a brief warmup.
