Discussion
Low pressure will begin to intensify just off the Carolina coastline by later today and then push northeastward on Tuesday just off the east coast. Snow develops here later tonight and continues on Tuesday with 2-4 inches likely and isolated higher amounts of 5 inches possible…the most snowfall in many spots in a couple of years. High pressure will then take control at mid-week and then another coastal low pressure system is likely to develop on Friday with the potential of bringing significant snowfall to the Mid-Atlantic region. Signs point to another Arctic blast to follow making for very cold conditions during the upcoming weekend with single digits lows possible in many suburban locations of the Mid-Atlantic region.
