Discussion
It’ll turn milder today in the Mid-Atlantic region and there will be occasional rain lasting right into the overnight hours. A slow-moving Arctic cold front will inch its way across the region by early tomorrow morning and cold, dense low-level Arctic air will filter in from the northwest to the southeast. As a result, any plain rain that is falling early Friday will transition to freezing rain during the late morning/mid-day hours from the northwest to the southeast. There can be some buildup of ice in the northern and western suburbs on any untreated surfaces such as trees, grass. Temperatures will plunge tomorrow night as the Arctic air mass arrives in full force…watch out for any leftover standing water that can quickly freeze up early tomorrow night.
