Discussion
There were snowflakes in the air in parts of the Mid-Atlantic region on Wednesday and another system is likely to produce snow showers around here today and perhaps even a period of steadier snow. Small accumulations are certainly on the table as temperatures should hold in the 30’s during any snowfall during the day. It turns noticeably milder on Friday and the mild conditions will continue through much of the day on Sunday.
The weekend will end with some wild weather conditions as a strong cold front slides slowly from west-to-east and towards the eastern seaboard. Strong low pressure will form along the frontal boundary zone and the result here will likely be heavy rain and possible strong thunderstorms. In addition to the rain, winds will become a big factor with potentially damaging gusts from later Sunday into Sunday night. After the passage of the cold front, temperatures are likely to tumble on Sunday night and the rain can transition to snow/ice for a brief time in areas to the north and west of the metro area.
