Discussion
The first half of the week will feature dry weather in the Mid-Atlantic region with high pressure in control, but major changes are coming for the late week and weekend. A significant upper-level trough will evolve over the eastern states by week’s end and it may feature an initial surface low that tracks over the Ohio Valley and then a secondary near the northern Mid-Atlantic coastline. An increasingly colder air mass will mix into this system and snow is likely to form in some of the interior higher elevation locations of the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast US by the weekend and it is not out of the question that some flakes fall around here…stay tuned.
