Discussion
A rather tight pressure gradient remains across the Mid-Atlantic region today and this will lead to continued breezy conditions with temperatures remaining on the cold side of normal for late February. A weak disturbance may cause a few rain and/or snow showers today and then a reinforcing shot of cold air will arrive tonight perhaps with a snow shower. As a result, the weekend promises to start off with colder-than-normal conditions, but a warming trend will begin on Sunday. This warming trend will see a return to the 60’s for highs by Tuesday, but the moderation in temperatures will come with an increasing chance of showers.
