Discussion
Roads are mainly just wet early today, but watch for slippery spots as temperatures are still near the freezing mark in many areas. Overall conditions will improve in the region later in the morning as temperatures climb above the freezing mark and they’ll peak in the low-to-mid 40’s this afternoon. In addition to the lingering freezing rain/rain, winds will be an important factor today gusting up to 35 mph or so. High pressure takes control this weekend with cold conditions on Saturday and less harsh weather on Sunday. Much colder air will return to the Mid-Atlantic region on Monday following the passage of a cold frontal system at the end of the weekend.
