Discussion
An energetic weather pattern is evolving and we’ll have to deal with multiple systems over the next several days. A warm front has resulted in some steady light rain around here in the overnight hours, but this will diminish to just isolated showers for the next several hours. More rain is likely tonight and Saturday as low pressure forms nearby and a cold front advances towards the region. It'll turn windy and colder tomorrow night and there can be a snow shower late at night and then Sunday should be a dry day with breezy and cold conditions. A “clipper” low pressure system will follow closely and it could spread some snow showers into the area late Sunday night into early Monday and then another system will have to be watched for late Tuesday as it pulls out of the south-central US and towards the Ohio Valley/Mid-Atlantic. That system can bring snow or rain to the region by Tuesday night and it will usher in another cold air mass for the middle of next week.
