Discussion

Low pressure will push northward today into New York State and then New England, but it’ll still have an impact around here with strong winds and the chance of residual rain, sleet and/or snow showers early in the morning. Broad high pressure will take control of the weather for Tuesday and Wednesday and then a strong cold front will move through on Wednesday night with the chance of rain and/or snow showers.  High pressure returns on Thursday anchoring a colder air mass and then attention will turn to a possible storm threat in the Mid-Atlantic region during the weekend.
