Discussion
High pressure will be the main player today in the Mid-Atlantic region generating plenty of sunshine which will be quite a change from recent days. Clouds will increase tonight as a strong cold front pushes towards the eastern states. This front will arrive on Friday with snow and/or rain showers and it'll turn a bit milder ahead of it with temperatures likely reaching the 40's for highs. It turns a bit colder this weekend following the passage of the cold frontal system and attention will turn to a storm system over the Southeast US. There continues to be a chance that northern and southern stream energy "phase together" in time for this system to push far enough to the north and east to have an impact on the Mid-Atlantic region.. If so, there would likely be snow or a combination of snow and rain in the Saturday night/Sunday time frame...stay tuned.
