Discussion
An ugly week of weather has begun in the DC metro region with cool conditions and occasional showers today, tonight, tomorrow and Wednesday…some of it can be heavy at times and it doesn’t end there. There will be the chance of a few thunderstorms along the way during the first half of the week and even colder air will push into the area on Wednesday night and Thursday on strong winds and there can be some additional rain shower activity and perhaps even a few snow showers across northern Maryland. This blast of winter-like weather from late Wednesday into Thursday is likely to result in accumulating snow across upstate NY and interior New England - keeping ski season alive and well up there for awhile longer.
