Discussion
This looks like quite a cold week in the Mid-Atlantic region with frozen precipitation likely here late tonight, potentially damaging winds at mid-week and perhaps a weekend snow threat. Very cold air has dropped southward through New England from southeastern Canada during the past 24 hours or so and low pressure is headed towards the Great Lakes from south-central Canada. Precipitation is likely to arrive here later tonight and it should be cold enough for a wintry mix of snow, sleet and rain. Some slick spots are possible towards morning along with small accumulations of snow and ice. Another low pressure system and its associated strong cold front will cross the region tomorrow night and usher in a very cold air mass for the mid and late week. In addition, winds will become very strong following the Tuesday night frontal passage with gusts past 40 mph likely on Wednesday and Thursday. Looking ahead, a storm will try to get organized near the east coast this weekend and snow is a threat for the Mid-Atlantic region...stay tuned.
