Discussion

The next few days will be milder in the Mid-Atlantic region and quite wet as well as moisture steadily flows to the northeast from the Gulf of Mexico. The warmest day of the week will be on Friday when temperatures surge to the upper 50’s in the NYC metro region. Another storm system is then likely to impact the Mid-Atlantic region later in the upcoming weekend with one surface low pressure system (primary) heading into the Ohio Valley and a secondary likely to form near the Mid-Atlantic coastline. While there will be little cold air around initially, strong high pressure will build into southeastern Canada and act as a cold air source…possibly resulting in a changeover from rain-to-snow on Sunday night.
