Discussion
There will be periods of rain today, tonight, and Friday as a strengthening storm system organizes off the northern Mid-Atlantic coastline. Much colder air will push into the area tonight as north-to-northwest winds pick up in intensity and it is not out of the question that a few flakes mix in at times from later tonight into Friday. The first accumulating snows of the season are likely for some of the higher elevation locations of the Appalachians all the way from the Tennessee Valley to northern New England. The weekend will feature windy and cold conditions in the Mid-Atlantic region with some sunshine on each day to go along with the well below-normal temperatures.
