Discussion              

The overall weather pattern will remain quite active across the nation during the next couple of weeks with most sections experiencing colder-than-normal conditions. In the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast US, there may be as many as three storms during the next week or so presenting chances of rain and snow. Precipitation is likely to arrive here with the first system by the mid-morning hours in the form of rain or a mix of rain and snow that would change to rain. As low pressure intensifies off the Mid-Atlantic coastline later tonight, an influx of colder air can change the rain or the mix to all snow in some of the northern suburbs. Another system threatens the area with rain or a mix of rain and snow from Sunday into Monday night and it could become a monster storm for the Northeast US…so much for an early spring.

One final note, clocks turn ahead an hour this weekend.
