Discussion

An area of moisture from the south-central US has pushed into the Mid-Atlantic region and it’ll stay damp and unsettled into tomorrow. High pressure is going to build into the region for the mid-week time period with Wednesday probably turning out to be the mildest day of the week and then a cold front approaches on Thursday. This front will usher in a colder period of weather for about a week to ten days in the Mid-Atlantic region and snow could actually make a return to portions of the interior Northeast US during this colder stretch. In fact, there are signs for a significant coastal storm around next Sunday which could generate snow in the interior Northeast US (i.e., areas to the NW of I-95; odds favor rain in the big cities) and that may not be the last chance for snow in this part of the country.
