Discussion
A much colder-than-normal air mass with its origins in northern Canada arrived in the Mid-Atlantic region in the overnight hours and the next couple of days will be well below-normal for this time of year. Another cold blast will push across the Northern Plains/Great Lakes early next week and arrive here by Tuesday night. Next week's cold blast could feature a rain-changing-to-snow scenario at the onset, but it doesn't look like anything significant at this time.
