Discussion              

After the threat of snow early today, high pressure will take back control of the weather by afternoon and clearing skies will develop in the Mid-Atlantic region. After a moderately cold day on Thursday, an Arctic front will head in this direction and blast through early Friday morning. This frontal passage will usher in a brutally cold air mass for Friday and Saturday with single digit late night lows and painfully low wind chill values.
