Discussion
After a brisk and cold day today with possible scattered flurries, a “clipper-type” low pressure system will bring rain showers to the region late tonight and on Friday and the rain could be mixed with snow at times. In fact, there could be a coating of snow in the early morning hours across many suburban locations before it turns milder later in the day. This low pressure system will push a cold front through the region by early Saturday which will usher in a very cold air mass for this time of year. A wave of low pressure will form along the frontal boundary zone on Saturday and precipitation will likely break out early in the day. The precipitation is likely to begin as rain or a wintry mix and then change to snow during the day on Saturday and some accumulations are likely along the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor. It stays abnormally cold on Sunday following the Saturday storm and another system could impact the region early next week.
