Discussion

An Arctic air mass pushed into the Mid-Atlantic region on Thursday and it stays quite cold today with an increase in cloud cover as an upper-level disturbance heads in this direction. This system can produce some snow in the area later tonight and on Saturday morning and perhaps a mix of rain and snow on Saturday afternoon...small accumulations are possible. Another system will try to slide up along the east coast on Sunday and it can bring some snow to the Philly metro region during the second half of the weekend...additional snow accumulations are possible. More Arctic air is on tap for the Mid-Atlantic region during the first half of next week with bitter cold conditions expected here on Monday night, Tuesday, and Tuesday night. The overall pattern stays very cold through the second half of the month in the eastern US and it can include some extreme cold.
