Discussion
The next few days will be relatively quiet in the Mid-Atlantic region and still pretty mild compared to earlier in the week. A weak cold front will pass through the area tonight, but it will have little impact on surface temperatures with another fairly mild day expected on Friday. After a mild beginning to the weekend, an Arctic cold front will head into the eastern states from northwest-to-southeast and it will tend to slow down on its arrival. Snow or rain changing to snow is likely to develop late Saturday night and continue into Sunday morning as a wave of low pressure forms along the cold frontal boundary zone. Much colder air will push into the area on Sunday and it’ll stay quite cold through the early part of next week.
