Discussion
The coldest air mass of the season so far becomes more firmly established across the region today and there can be some snow shower activity as well making its way all the way into the I-95 corridor from the eastern Great Lakes. The snow showers can hit at just about any time today and there can be quick small accumulations potentially resulting in briefly hazardous travel conditions. Temperatures should do no better than the upper 30’s for afternoon highs and then drop to the middle 20’s late tonight – the lowest levels this season - and persistently strong W-NW winds will produce even lower wind chills. It stays on the cold and breezy side on Wednesday, but a noticeable moderation in temperatures will take place for the late week and upcoming weekend and rain will once again become a threat in the Mid-Atlantic region.
