Discussion
An active weather pattern continues…
Following the passage of last night’s strong cold front, winds will remain quite noticeable today from a northwesterly direction and it’ll be much colder than yesterday which featured some record-breaking warmth in the Mid-Atlantic region. High pressure will move overhead later today as it pushes eastward from the Upper Midwest. Clouds will thicken up this evening as low pressure begins a push from the Tennessee Valley towards the southern Mid-Atlantic coastline. By early tomorrow, precipitation will break out and it can be cold enough for some snow – even in the immediate I-95 corridor from DC-to-Philly-to-NYC. As is often the case with daytime snow events this time of year, the greatest chances for snow accumulations will be on grassy surfaces and in the northern and western suburbs; especially, in any higher elevation location. Looking ahead, another very active frontal passage will take place in the Friday night-Saturday night time period…more on that later.
