Discussion

High pressure takes control of the weather for the mid-week and then a strong cold frontal passage will take place here by tomorrow night and it will usher in the coldest air so far this season. As a result, temperatures are likely to bottom out near 20 degrees across most suburban locations by early Friday morning and highs later in the day will be confined to the middle 30’s with an increase in cloud cover. Low pressure will close in on the area from the south later in the day on Friday and it could produce some accumulating snow in portions of the Mid-Atlantic region; especially, to the south of the PA/MD border.
