Discussion              

The overall weather pattern for the final week of the year will be quite active with multiple systems impacting the region. The week begins with some as low pressure approaches and it can be mixed with snow or sleet at times this morning in the normally colder suburban locations to the north and west of the District. Additional low pressure systems will come our way for the mid and late week time periods bringing some rain shower activity.  The weekend could feature a much stronger low pressure system in the eastern US sandwiched between warmer air to the south and east and colder air to the north and west.
