Discussion
A cold front will approach the region today from the northwest and it has some support in the upper part of the atmosphere with a robust wave of energy and a powerful jet streak. As a result, there can be snow shower activity in the region primarily during the late morning and early afternoon hours. The highest chance for snow shower activity will be across the northern suburbs where small accumulations are possible and slick spots on the roadways. Skies will clear tonight and high pressure will take control for the latter part of the work week. It turns milder this weekend ahead of the next strong cold frontal system which is likely to be accompanied by some rain shower activity in the Mid-Atlantic region. A colder air mass arrives early next week after the passage of the weekend cold front and we'll have to monitor a possible threat of low pressure near the eastern seaboard.
