Discussion
The overall weather pattern looks quite active in coming days with multiple waves likely to trek across the country. One wave will arrive in California by the early part of the weekend and then reach the Great Lakes region by Sunday evening. This system will spread snow into the Ohio Valley by later Sunday and then snow could break out here in the Mid-Atlantic region on Sunday night and continue into early Monday. A second and stronger wave will follow quickly and it could bring substantial amounts of precipitation here on Tuesday – perhaps a snow-to-ice-to-rain scenario.
