Discussion

Low pressure will bring more rain to the region from later today into tonight and there can be a strong thunderstorm mixed into the picture. Moderately cold air will follow for Thursday and Friday on the heels of a mid-week cold frontal passage. It’ll turn even colder this weekend as our long anticipated pattern change to much colder-than-normal conditions becomes better established. This pattern change to colder weather for the central and eastern states will be quite active as well and there may be some snow in the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor by early next week. Bitter cold Arctic air could be in the cards across much of the nation by later next week and a second storm threat is possible as well.
