Discussion

A dynamic storm system is impacting the Mid-Atlantic region this morning with a changeover taking place of rain-to-sleet-to-snow and roads will quickly deteriorate after the changeover to snow takes place. The snow will come down heavily at times this morning and winds down by late morning/mid-day with 3-6 inches likely and isolated higher amounts are possible. Winds will become a big factor gusting out of the northeast as high as 40 mph. The storm will be long gone by mid-afternoon and conditions will improve markedly. High pressure takes over at mid-week with moderately cold conditions expected.
