Discussion

Chilly air is pushing into the region today following yesterday’s mild and wet weather conditions. A cold front slid through the area in the overnight hours and it will linger along the east coast today. Low pressure will ride up along that frontal boundary zone later tonight and early Friday and it could throw some snow back into the region between the immediate I-95 corridor and the Delmarva Peninsula coastline. The best chance for small accumulations late tonight/early Friday will be across the Delmarva Peninsula, but they cannot be completely ruled out yet in the immediate DC metro region. Another cold front will cross the area on Sunday and low pressure is likely to stay off the coast and then we’ll have to monitor a volatile situation for the early and middle part of next week. Deep upper level low pressure will develop across the eastern US early next week at the same time there is an Arctic air intrusion into the northern US – the end result could be another coastal storm to deal with around here. Stay tuned.
