Discussion
The day will start off on the damp side around here with additional fog and drizzle, but the afternoon should turn out dry with partly sunny skies and a surge in temperatures to near 75 degrees. Another storm system will impact the DC metro region during the second half of the weekend with more rain as one low pressure system (primary) heads into the Ohio Valley and a secondary will forms 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. This is likely to result in a changeover from rain-to-snow across some of the interior, higher elevation locations of the northern Mid-Atlantic region and there is a slight chance for a brief changeover across some of our far north and west suburbs late Sunday night.
