Discussion
A strong wave of energy is now crossing over the Mid-Atlantic region and it could produce snow showers in the area and maybe even an isolated heavier snow squall. A colder air mass will pour into the region this afternoon as NW winds increase in intensity with possible gusts to 45 mph or so. It’ll become quite cold by late tonight as the new cold air mass settles into the region and it’ll remain chilly through the remainder of the work week. A reinforcing cold air mass will arrive this weekend – potentially setting the stage for wintry precipitation around here early next week.
