Discussion
A cold front crosses the region later tonight and it will bring some shower activity to the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor. Temperatures behind the cold frontal passage will not drop with highs on both days likely in the 60’s with some sun and Saturday and clouds on Sunday with the chance for rain. An Arctic cold front arrives on Sunday night and it’ll usher in the coldest air yet this season for the early part of next week and many areas will experience their first hard freeze on Monday night. The atmosphere will be quite unstable by later Monday with a vigorous low pressure system nearby in the upper part of the atmosphere. This setup could lead to some snow shower activity around here late Monday and accumulating snow is likely just downstream from the Great Lakes (e.g., western PA, western NY) and also in the higher elevations of the western Mid-Atlantic (e.g., western MD, western VA, West Virginia). Temperatures relax by mid-week, but there will be a shot of chilly air by late next week.
