Discussion
An active weather pattern will continue into the new year with one low pressure system bringing precipitation here on Friday and Friday night and then a second system will likely impact us on Sunday. The first system will result in accumulating snow for parts of the Upper Midwest and Ohio Valley on Friday and mainly a rain event for the Mid-Atlantic region. However, it can be cold enough at the onset on Friday for a brief period of sleet; especially, in some of the northern and western suburbs. After an unseasonably mild day on Saturday, it'll turn colder on Sunday and a second low pressure system will likely intensify near the Mid-Atlantic coastline bringing us more precipitation to close out the weekend.
