Discussion
Weak low pressure is pushing into the Mid-Atlantic region and it could produce a bit of light rain here from later today into tonight - not at all a significant precipitation event. There can be a few ice pellets mixed in during the next few hours in the far northern and western suburbs. High pressure will take control again at mid-week we’ll have a bit of a warm up compared to the chill of yesterday and today. A stronger low pressure system will impact the region from Thursday into Friday - much more of a significant precipitation event - with rain on Thursday and Thursday night that can change briefly to snow on Friday. This late week event will be the first decent precipitation we've had in the region during the month of March.
