Discussion
The colder-than-normal pattern that we have experienced in recent days will continue for at least the next several days and there are signs that much of the remainder of March will remain below-normal on average. An upper-level disturbance will pass nearby today and generate some gusty winds and perhaps a couple of snow and/or rain showers in the I-95 corridor. The next significant coastal storm threat comes Sunday night and Monday when low pressure in the Southeast US may attempt to come up along the east coast - still a bit too early to say for sure if it'll ever make it this far north. However, the overall weather pattern does allow for the type of scenario in which DC, Philly and NYC are impacted significantly by yet another strong coastal storm. Stay tuned.
