Discussion
Low pressure is pulling away from the coastline today and we’ll have some clearing skies, but it stays quite cold for this time of year. The next low pressure system to watch will drop southeast from the Northern Plains this weekend and it could slide far enough to our south to spare the region of another round of wintry precipitation – but it is still too close for comfort and bears watching. After that system passes, it looks like it’ll get somewhat warmer next week, but that warm up may just be temporary as colder air is likely to return as we begin April. A sampling of snowfall reports: DCA 4.1", IAD 5.3", Chantilly, VA 5.0", BWI 4.7", Greenbelt, MD 6.9", Columbia, MD 7.0" and Annapolis, MD 6.3".
