Discussion

It’ll stay well below-normal today in the Mid-Atlantic region, but the winds will not be a factor as they were on Thursday. An overall active weather pattern is unfolding going forward and there will be a couple systems to deal with early next week. By late Sunday, weak low pressure will bring moisture into the Mid-Atlantic region and it can be cold enough at the onset (cold air damming scenario) for a mix of snow and/or ice across some of the far N/W suburbs. Another system will follow quickly on Monday and Tuesday bringing some rain to the Mid-Atlantic region.
