Discussion
The active weather pattern of recent days will continue during the next several days across the eastern half of the nation. One storm will bring wintry precipitation to the Mid-Atlantic region this weekend and then a powerhouse storm can bring heavy rain and strong winds here from Tuesday into Wednesday. The precipitation with the weekend system likely arrives here as snow or snow and ice during the early-to-mid afternoon hours on Saturday and then likely transitions to rain or a mixture with small accumulations likely before the changeover. The storm next Tuesday/Wednesday is likely to bring heavy rain here with potentially damaging winds (power outages on the table), and there is a chance that the precipitation starts out as snow or a mix of snow and ice. There are likely to be additional systems to deal by the time we get through the middle of the month in this on-going active weather pattern.
