An Arctic front whipped through the region last night and it’ll stay quite cold today in the Mid-Atlantic region along with continued rather strong NW winds. The winds will die down tonight as high pressure builds into the area and this system will dominate the weather scene for the rest of the week.
Read MoreThe rain that we have experienced since early yesterday will wind down this morning and an Arctic front will blast through the region late in the day. As a result, winds will kick up noticeably later today and they will be very strong tonight with gusts possible to 50 mph or so. In addition, temperatures will drop sharply in the overnight hours bottoming out in the mid-to-upper 20’s and wind chills will be considerably lower. After a cold and sunny day on Tuesday, temperatures will moderate at mid-week under continuing mostly sunny skies.
Read MoreDon’t be surprised to see some snowflakes later tonight in some of the northern and western suburbs along the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor as moisture pushes into a relatively cold and dry air mass (dew points in the teens). In fact, there can be a coating to an inch or so in some of the nearby northern and western suburbs of Philly and NYC and also in some of the far northern and western suburbs of DC.
Rain will be the dominate precipitation type on Saturday morning in the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor before it winds down at mid-day and there will be significant rainfall on Sunday and Sunday night. An Arctic front will then blast through the Northeast US/Mid-Atlantic region on Monday and the winds will kick up noticeably later in the day and continue quite strong on Monday night. In addition, the plunge in temperatures will be quite dramatic in this short, but intense Arctic cold air outbreak and there can even be a few snow squalls in the Northeast US upon its arrival.
Read MoreA cold front passed through the region early yesterday and ushered in a colder air mass as we end the work week. Low pressure will try to organize along the Mid-Atlantic coastline by late tonight, but it will be rather weak. This system can generate some rain by later tonight and the rain will continue on Saturday morning. A more significant rainfall is coming to the DC metro region for Sunday and Sunday night. A cold front pushes through the area early Monday bringing in another chilly air mass for the early part of next week and the winds will kick up noticeably by late in the day.
Read MoreA cold front passed through the region last night and ushered in a colder air mass for the next couple of days after our brief mid-week spring tease. Low pressure will try to organize along the Mid-Atlantic coastline by late tomorrow night and it could generate rain that can briefly mix with snow well to the north and west. Light rain is likely in the morning on Saturday and then more significant rain will fall on Sunday. A cold front pushes through the area early Monday bringing in another chilly air mass to the Mid-Atlantic region for the early part of next week.
Read MoreHigh pressure will take control today and under mostly sunny skies, afternoon temperatures will climb to the much more comfortable low-to-mid 60's - likely the warmest day since Christmas Eve (62 degree high). A cold front passes through the region tonight perhaps accompanied by a shower or two and it’ll turn colder again for the last couple days of the work week. By the end of the week, low pressure will try to form near the Mid-Atlantic coastline and it can produce some rain in the area on Friday night and Saturday - perhaps mixed with snow for a brief time.
Read MoreThe day starts off with temperatures near the freezing mark in many spots so watch out for black ice on all road surfaces that appear wet. A frontal system will approach the region today and it can produce a couple of showers and the winds will become very noticeable later in the day gusting up to 45 mph or so. High pressure will take control on Wednesday and under mostly sunny skies, afternoon temperatures will climb towards the 60 degree mark. A cold front passes through on Wednesday night and it’ll turn colder again for the last couple days of the work week.
Read MoreA bit of a tricky situation today as we begin the new work week as there can be a burst of moderate-to-heavy snow possibly mixed with sleet and/or freezing rain that can even result in some accumulations before milder air pushes in to change the precipitation to plain rain. A frontal system will slide through the region today with high pressure situated off the east coast and it’ll likely be just cold enough at the start for some frozen precipitation with a coating to an inch or two of snow possible in areas to the north and west of the District. A southerly flow on the back side of the high will boost afternoon temperatures to 40 degrees and snow should change to plain rain across the region before winding down. The rest of the week looks rather quiet and it’ll get much milder at mid-week.
Read MoreThe new work week will begin with a bit of a tricky situation as there is likely to be a quick burst of heavy snow in the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor possibly mixed with sleet at times - all as a strong cold frontal system slides to the east. Snow, possibly mixed with sleet, should arrive by the mid-morning hours on Monday in DC and in the mid-to-late morning hours across the Philly and NYC metro regions. Rapid accumulations are likely before a changeover to plain rain takes place later in the afternoon.
Read MoreThe day will start off with freezing drizzle in most areas and as another low pressure area pushes northeast along a frontal system, the precipitation could mix with or change to snow for a few hours later this morning into the afternoon. Additional small accumulations of ice/snow are possible before the system winds down later in the day. High pressure takes over for the weekend, but then another low pressure area can bring us some snow or snow and rain combination on Monday.
