Discussion
A low pressure system and its associated cold front will cross the Mid-Atlantic region later tonight possibly generating an evening rain shower and then high pressure returns on Friday. Low pressure will ride along that frontal boundary zone by the early part of the weekend and there can be some accumulating snow around here from later Friday evening into early Saturday morning and then the rest of the weekend to follow will be rather cold and breezy. Preliminary snowfall estimates are 2-4 inches by early Saturday morning in the DC metro region...isolated higher amounts are possible.
