Discussion
A very active weather pattern will continue this week with two separate storms to deal with in the Mid-Atlantic region. The first system will pull out of the southern states today and push a lot of moisture into the region and a wintry mix of ice and rain is on tap for the area. A significant buildup of ice is possible tonight in some suburban locations well to the north and west of the metro region. A second storm later this week will have more cold air out ahead of it than the first system; consequently, there can be a period of accumulating snow on Thursday before an eventual changeover to ice/rain.
