Discussion
An active weather pattern is in store for the Mid-Atlantic region for the next week or so. High pressure will edge into the region today and this will cause a relaxation in the pressure gradient and noticeably less wind compared to Monday. A fast moving low pressure system will cross the Ohio Valley late tonight and early Wednesday and spread clouds into the Mid-Atlantic region, but it looks like its precipitation field will stay to the north of the PA/MD border. Another disturbance will head our way by early Friday and this system can bring us some snow as we end the work week. Looking ahead to the weekend, it’ll turn a bit milder on Saturday with a chance of rain and then colder on Sunday and we'll have to watch moisture to our south that may try to push northward along the east coast as we end the weekend. Yet another system may try to ride up along the east coast by the middle of next week.
