Discussion
The weather pattern across the nation will become quite wild over the next couple of weeks with widespread bitter cold and multiple snow threats. After a mild and wet day on Saturday in the Mid-Atlantic, a strong cold front will pass through the region and usher in a colder air mass for Christmas Eve (Sunday). In fact, it looks like once this colder pattern sets up in the Mid-Atlantic region, it’ll stick around going well into the month of January. In addition to the upcoming cold, there are likely to be multiple snow threats going forward including one for the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast US on Sunday night and early Monday (Christmas Day) and then another accumulating snow threat at the end of next week (~Friday, 12/29) which could be a big storm followed by some brutal cold.
