Discussion

Arctic high pressure will push offshore today and this will be followed by a cold frontal passage later tonight. High pressure will then re-establish for this weekend and early next week and help to produce a stretch of cold and dry days around here. A “clipper” system will approach from the northwest by the middle of next week and it could produce some snow which - more than likely - would be confined to the northern half of the Mid-Atlantic region.
