Discussion
It stays well below-normal during the next couple of days and some snow is likely later tomorrow as a disturbance crosses the Great Lakes….small accumulations are possible on the order of a coating to an inch or so. Temperatures will moderate for Friday and Saturday and there can be some rain shower activity during the first half of the weekend with an outside chance that ice and/or snow mixes in at times on Saturday.
A strong cold front is going to pass through early Sunday and set the stage for bitter cold Arctic air to move into the region for the bulk of next week. A wave of low pressure can form along the Arctic frontal boundary zone potentially producing some snow in the Mid-Atlantic region from later Sunday into Sunday night. The bitter cold will continue into mid-week and there can be another storm threat with its origins likely over the Gulf of Mexico.
Stay tuned…next week is looking quite interesting.
