Discussion              

High pressure will remain in control in the Mid-Atlantic region for another day, but a couple of weak systems can produce a few snow and/or rain showers late tonight into early Thursday. After a cold and dry Friday, low pressure with plenty of moisture will pull out of the southern states on Saturday and spread snow and/or rain into the I-95 corridor from mid-day Saturday into early Sunday and snow accumulations are on the table; especially, in the far northern and western suburbs. The evolution of the weekend storm is still not set in stone so stay tuned.
