Discussion              

After the busted snowfall forecast of late Friday night/early Saturday and the chilly remainder of the weekend, the new work week will begin on the cold side and high pressure will ensure plenty of sunshine throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. It’ll remain seasonably chilly over the next couple of days with high pressure remaining in control and there should be a continuation of dry, sunny conditions. Low pressure is then likely to impact the area with rain from later Thursday into Friday morning before high pressure and a fresh, cold air mass returns for the weekend.
