Discussion
Unusually cold conditions will continue today in the Mid-Atlantic region and we’ll experience another day with noticeable winds and a possible snow shower or two. After partly cloudy skies this evening, clouds will tend to increase late tonight and snow is may develop during the early-to-mid afternoon hours on Friday as low pressure pushes towards the North Carolina/Virginia coastline. The upper-level wave of energy that is supporting this next system will get somewhat “stretched out” over the next 24 hours, but it’ll remain potent enough to possibly generate small accumulations in the NYC metro region on Friday of a coating or so. A more important system in terms of total available moisture will head towards the Great Lakes this weekend and likely push precipitation into our area late Saturday night. While the bulk of this system will likely be in the form of rain in the I-95 corridor, there is a chance for some frozen precipitation at the onset; especially, in some of the colder suburban locations north and west of NYC. Temperatures can actually jump into the 50’s later Sunday, but it’ll then turn colder early next week following the passage of a strong cold front.
