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 afternoon and evening snow showers to the region possibly mixed with rain initially. There is even the chance for a heavier late day 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 middle 30’s for afternoon highs. The unusual early season chill in the Mid-Atlantic will ease during the first half of next week.
