Discussion

It remains quite cold around here today and it will for the rest of the week and then intensely cold air is destined to arrive for the upcoming weekend. The pattern becomes somewhat active as well with a couple chances of snow in the Mid-Atlantic region. Weak low pressure will push across the area with some snow from Tuesday night into early Wednesday…small accumulations are likely on the order of a coating to an inch or two. Later in the week, a strong clipper system and its associated cold front can bring snow showers to the area later Friday…perhaps even a snow squall. That clipper system will usher in another brutally cold Arctic air mass to the Mid-Atlantic region for the first full weekend of February with strong winds adding to the misery.
