Discussion
Low pressure will head towards the Mid-Atlantic coastline over the next twelve hours or so and will spread accumulating snow into the I-95 corridor from DC-to-Philly-to-NYC. The snow is likely to arrive here during the evening hours (8 or 9pm) and continue until early tomorrow morning (6 or 7am) with accumulations on the order of a coating to 2 inches and some roads will become slippery. Another system will strengthen near the Mid-Atlantic coastline on Saturday and it is likely to produce significant accumulating snow in parts of the Southeast US (e.g., Carolinas, Georgia) and will come quite close to the Mid-Atlantic’s I-95 corridor on its northwestern periphery. At this time, odds continue to favor this weekend threat staying just to the south and east of here, but this system will continue to be closely monitored as a slight shift in the currently projected storm track could have a big impact here. As far as temperatures are concerned, they’ll remain well below normal right through Monday and will not even make it to freezing this weekend.
