Discussion
A winter storm system will move eastward today and produce some accumulating snow in the area with the heaviest likely to fall during the morning hours. In fact, there can be a lull in the precipitation this afternoon and then the return of some snow or snow showers by late afternoon or early evening on the backend of the storm system. Total accumulations are likely to fall in the 2-4 inch range with the higher amounts generally to the south of the metro region and lowest amounts to the north. Arctic cold will follow for the next few days as our cold, active weather pattern continues in the Mid-Atlantic region. Later in the week, low pressure is likely to develop over the Gulf of Mexico and it can move northeast from there and have an impact in the region this weekend.
