Discussion
High pressure will remain in control of the weather here today, but it shifts off the coast by tomorrow and that opens the door for moisture to head this way from our southwest. Low pressure will gather strength on Tuesday and head towards the coastal waters of the Mid-Atlantic region. With this more southern track compared to recent storms, cold air will be better established in the Mid-Atlantic region and pushed farther to the south leading to primarily a snow event in the DC metro region. Snow likely begins during the mid-day or early afternoon and continues into Wednesday morning with accumulations likely in the 4-7 inch range . Another storm threatens to bring snow, ice and rain to the area from late Wednesday into Thursday as this on-going active pattern continues.
