Discussion
Low pressure to our north will produce occasional rain in the area during the morning hours and there can be some clearing skies by the end of the day. After partly cloudy skies tonight, the mid-week looks to be dry and chilly in the DC metro region and then there can be a touch of rain on Thursday, Christmas Day, from another “clipper” system that moves from northwest-to-southeast. A more impactful low pressure is likely here at the end of the week with ice on the table as strong high pressure positioned to our north acts as a source of cold air for the northeastern states.
