Discussion

Weak low pressure will head in this direction today and it can produce some snow in the southern Mid-Atlantic by tonight, but probably not this far to the north. The next weather system of note will be a strong Arctic cold front that arrives later Friday and it can produce some snow in the Mid-Atlantic region during the afternoon and evening hours on Friday. The passage of the late week Arctic front will result in a bitter cold weekend in the NYC metro region with temperatures likely to be confined to the teens for afternoon highs. In addition, the winds will be powerful on both weekend days as the result of a tight pressure gradient across the northeastern states and the combination of the bitter cold and strong winds will produce much lower wind chill values. Looking ahead, it does appear that, for the first time in awhile, milder weather might just make it all the way into the northeastern states by the second half of next week.
