Discussion
Low pressure will head to a position off the Mid-Atlantic coastline by later today at the same high pressure to our north retreats into the northwestern Atlantic. It’ll be cold enough for awhile this morning for a mix of sleet and rain to fall across some suburban locations, but the influx of slightly milder ocean air later today will cause a transition to plain rain throughout the area…watch for AM slick spots on some of the suburban roadways.
High pressure takes control of the weather for the mid-week and then a cold frontal passage on Thursday night will usher in the coldest air so far this season. As a result, temperatures are likely to bottom out in the upper teens across most suburban locations by early Friday morning. After that, we’ll have to monitor the movement of low pressure across the southeastern states. There is a chance that this system pushes far enough to the north by Friday night/ Saturday to produce some snow in the Mid-Atlantic region...we’ll closely monitor this threat during the next few days.
