Discussion              

The first snowflakes of the season were seen by many in the Mid-Atlantic region on Tuesday and today’s early morning temperatures are at their lowest levels for most. This is not, however, the beginning of a sustained winter weather pattern as temperatures will return to more seasonal levels on Thursday and rain can fall here on Friday. It stays seasonally cool this weekend with lots of clouds and more rain is a possibility from a couple of different low pressure systems.
