Discussion
One cold shot is headed this way from northern Canada and another one is coming for the early and middle parts of next week. As the cold air pushes to the southeast later today, moisture will push northeast along the advancing frontal boundary zone and rain is likely here late in the day and early tonight. The rain could mix with some flakes before ending tonight as the colder air pours into the region and the next two days will see highs confined to the 40's. Next week's cold blast could feature a rain-changing-to-snow scenario at the onset in the Mid-Atlantic region and northeastern US.
