Discussion
Winter is not going to give up without a fight despite what the groundhog predicted a few weeks ago. The calendar turns from February to March this Friday and the new month will begin with an active pattern to include additional cold air outbreaks and some snow threats. The first threat of snow will actually take place later today and tonight as a “clipper-like” system drops southeastward across the Great Lakes. Snow showers could reach into the metro region later today and continue tonight as this system passes by to our north, perhaps resulting in minor accumulations. Another system could generate some snow or rain here on Friday – just as we begin the month of March. A cold air outbreak is likely to arrive in the Mid-Atlantic region on Sunday and low pressure may form near the Southeast US coastline right along the cold frontal boundary zone. This could result in another wintry precipitation event from late Sunday into Monday with the chance of snow or a wintry mix. The first full week of March will be well below-normal in much of the nation including the Mid-Atlantic region.
