Discussion              

Low pressure intensifies offshore today and it’ll remain cold in the Mid-Atlantic region with a bit of a breeze as well. Another “clipper” system will drop southeast from the Great Lakes on Thursday and it can produce snow showers in the NYC metro region…maybe even a brief period of steadier snow with possible small accumulations. It turns much milder at the end of the week and the mild conditions will continue through the weekend. A strong cold front will slide in this direction on Sunday and this can lead to a heavy rain event along the eastern seaboard. In addition to the potential of heavy rainfall, winds may become very strong late in the weekend and thunderstorms may be mixed into the picture as well. A colder air mass will follow into the eastern states for the first half of next week.
