Discussion

A clipper system passed by to our north yesterday and low pressure will pass by to our south later today. This system can bring some rain to the area, but its overall impact should be rather limited as we’ll be on its northern fringes. It turns noticeably milder by the weekend, but a strong cold front passes through on Saturday night ushering in much colder air for the early part of next week. We’ll have to watch an active frontal boundary zone early next week for possible low pressure that could produce snow in the Mid-Atlantic region. Looking beyond the early week snow threat, there is a good chance for a noticeable warmup later next week with the 60’s a possibility by week’s end.
