Discussion

The week will start off with dry weather and moderately cold conditions following the passage of a cold front on Sunday and another cold frontal passage is expected on Wednesday. Ahead of the next cold front, it’ll turn milder on Wednesday and there can be some rain shower activity. After that, the weather pattern gets quite active across the eastern states and a storm system can develop in the colder air mass on Thursday bringing the chance of snow or rain changing to snow in the Mid-Atlantic region…lots of details remain to be ironed out.
