Discussion              

Colder-than-normal weather will continue through the weekend after a reinforcing shot of Canadian air pushes into the eastern states later today. This frontal passage can bring late afternoon and evening snow showers to the region possibly mixed with rain initially. There is even the chance for a heavier snow squall; especially, across some of the far northern and western suburbs. The core of the cold air mass will move overhead on Sunday likely making it the coldest day of the next few with temperatures struggling to escape the 30’s for afternoon highs.  The unusual early season chill in the Mid-Atlantic will ease during the first half of next week.
