Discussion
Low pressure will pull out of the southern states on Friday and intensify as it heads to a position just off the Mid-Atlantic coastline by later Saturday. Significant rainfall is in the cards from this coastal storm in the DC metro region and in areas to the east coast. It may become cold enough for accumulating snow on Saturday in higher elevation, interior locations of the Northeast US including such areas as the Poconos (PA), Catskills (NY) and central/western New England - all good news for skiers. There is even an outside chance that it gets cold enough in the northern suburbs around here on Saturday for the rain to briefly mix with or change to sleet and/or snow on the back end of the storm.
