Discussion
One Mid-Atlantic snow event is now winding down, but this wild 7-to-10 day period has a lot further to go in terms of cold and snow. Two big weather stories for the Mid-Atlantic region over the next several days include the arrival of a news-making, bitter cold air mass this weekend that will reach its low point near the zero degree mark by early Sunday morning and then there is a threat for more accumulating snow early next week. Low pressure will slowly pull away from the region today and high pressure will build in for the next couple of days. An Arctic front will blast through the region late Friday night/early Saturday – possibly accompanied by snow showers and snow squalls – and then both weekend days will be absolutely frigid and a strong wind will generate “slap-in-the-face” wind chills for much of the time.
