Discussion
An active weather pattern will feature a couple of storm systems to deal with between later this weekend and the end of next week. The first low pressure system will form over the Midwest on Saturday and then push its precipitation into the Mid-Atlantic region on Sunday. There may be enough cold air around for some snow in some of the interior higher elevation locations. A stronger storm system will wreak havoc across much of the nation next week with a possible severe weather outbreak on Tuesday in the Lower Mississippi Valley and a blizzard in the Northern Plains, This system could impact the Mid-Atlantic later next week and frozen precipitation may be in the mix. We’ll have to monitor the possibility of re-development of surface low pressure near the eastern seaboard as the initial primary low heads into strong blocking in the atmosphere over Canada.
