Discussion
After the threat of snow showers early today, high pressure will take back control of the weather this 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 – zero degrees is even on the table – and painfully low wind chill values.
