Discussion              

High pressure will stay in control of the weather from today into tomorrow and, after a cold day on Tuesday, it’ll turn a bit milder on Wednesday as the high shifts off the east coast.  A word of caution…as the milder air first tries to push in early on Wednesday, there can be a touch of freezing drizzle. A cold front comes through the region on Wednesday night and it’ll usher in another cold air mass for the latter part of the week.  Another strong disturbance in the upper atmosphere will head in this direction later Thursday and it is likely to result in the formation of low pressure near the Mid-Atlantic coastline on Thursday night and Friday.  This system certainly has the potential to produce accumulating snow in the Mid-Atlantic region and Northeast US on Thursday night and Friday morning and will be monitored closely during the next couple of days.
