Discussion
An active weather pattern will continue this week with a wave of energy in the Mid-Atlantic region coming our way this evening and the arrival of a powerful Arctic cold front on Thursday night. The early week upper-level wave of energy can set off some rain and/or snow shower activity tonight and unfortunately, it'll likely prevent a view of the "great conjunction" of Jupiter and Saturn. The late week Arctic front is likely to feature milder and windy conditions on its front side in this area along with periods of rain, some of which can be heavy at times. Following the passage of the strong cold front, it’ll turn much colder on Friday and there can be a snow shower or two along with stiff NW winds.
