Discussion
A cold front will pass through the area this afternoon and bring with it a good chance of rain and/or snow showers and ice pellets can mix in as well. High pressure will take control of the weather around here for Wednesday and Thursday and then we’ll have to watch the movement of a storm system expected to be over the Carolinas as we close out the work week on Friday. This system could stay to our south and east and head out-to-sea, but it is still something to monitor as a turn to the north cannot yet be ruled out. Another winter storm is likely to threaten the southern and eastern US next week and this one will need to be closely monitored right through the upcoming weekend as it has great potential.
