Discussion

The coldest air of the season so far has arrived in the Mid-Atlantic region and temperatures today will be confined to the 30’s which is well below normal for this time of year. In addition, the winds will be quite strong causing even lower wind chill values and there can be a snow shower or two in the I-95 corridor. The below-normal chill will continue through the upcoming weekend and it looks like there will be another Arctic blast reaching us by the middle of next week. As far as precipitation is concerned, low pressure will approach at the end of the weekend and it is likely to produce mainly rain around here from late Sunday into Monday, but there is an outside chance that some snow mixes in across northern sections. A better chance for snow from this next system will take place primarily north of the PA/MD border.
