A much colder air mass is closing in on the eastern seaboard at this hour and its arrival this afternoon could spark a strong-to-severe thunderstorm in the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor with the highest chances along coastal sections of New Jersey and the Delmarva Peninsula. Strong NW winds will usher in the unseasonably cold air mass later today and tonight and temperatures are likely to bottom out near the freezing mark early Thursday – even in the immediate I-95 corridor. Numerous records or near records low temperatures were experienced earlier today across the central US and Midwest and this pattern will shift to the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast US early Thursday. Looking ahead, a big time warm up is likely in the eastern US later next week which could result in 80+ degrees for the Mid-Atlantic region.

A strong cold front will slide through the region later today with showers likely and a possible strong thunderstorm during the mid-day or afternoon. A much colder air mass will ride into the area tonight on strong NW winds and temperatures by early tomorrow morning will bottom out in the low-to-mid 30's in many suburban locations. It remains windy and unseasonably chilly on Thursday with a feel of March rather than late April, but moderation in temperatures will take place at the end of the work week. A strong low pressure system is likely to bring more rainfall to the Mid-Atlantic region from Saturday night into Sunday and this could turn out to be a soaking rain event. Looking ahead, it looks like a big warm up is likely later next week in much of the eastern US.

There is the risk of strong-to-severe thunderstorm activity on Wednesday afternoon and early evening in the Mid-Atlantic region as a strong cold front blasts through the area. The primary severe weather threat will be damaging wind gusts and small hail is on the table as well. Following the frontal passage, unseasonably cold air will pour the Mid-Atlantic region riding in on strong NW winds and temperatures by early Thursday will be near the freezing mark in much of the I-95 corridor region from DC-to-Boston.

It’ll turn out to be a very nice day today in the Mid-Atlantic region as high pressure builds in providing us with plenty of sunshine, breezy and warmer conditions. The nice weather will be rather short-lived however. A strong cold front will approach on Wednesday with a pretty high likelihood of showers and there can even be a late day strong-to-severe thunderstorm potentially containing damaging wind gusts. A much colder air mass will ride into the area tomorrow night on strong NW winds and temperatures by Thursday morning will likely bottom out in the middle 30's in many suburban locations. It remains windy and unseasonably chilly on Thursday with a feel of March rather than late April, but moderation in temperatures will take place by the end of the week. Another strong system could bring more rainfall to the Mid-Atlantic region by the second half of the upcoming weekend.

An unseasonably cold air mass will push into the area for Wednesday night and Thursday with overnight lows well down in the 30's and a feeling of March during the day Thursday. Looking ahead, more rain is likely in the Mid-Atlantic region by Saturday night and Sunday.

Late morning weather observations featured snow in Boston, Massachusetts at 35 degrees and snow in Denver, Colorado at 27 degrees – and yet it is the middle of April. In fact, there is accumulating snow in two parts of the nation at mid-day including much of New England which is being hit by a springtime nor’easter and also in the region from the central Rockies to the central Plains. Just when most people desire the sustained warmth that spring can offer this time of year, the overall weather pattern says not yet – at least not for much of the central and eastern US during the rest of the month of April. Not only is there a colder-than-normal air mass now extending across this large part of the country, it appears that there will be multiple cold air outbreaks for the central and eastern US during at least the next ten days or so. Winter is simply not going away without a fight.

Low pressure will slowly pull up the New England coastline today and it’ll generate windy and chilly conditions for our area and the chance for an isolated shower. It’ll remain on the chilly side tonight with overnight lows in the lower 40’s, but the weekend looks promising with at least some sunshine likely on both days and generally comfortable afternoon temperatures. The generally mild, dry conditions of this weekend in the Mid-Atlantic region are likely to continue through the first half of next week.

Low pressure will intensify off the Mid-Atlantic coastline today and produce clouds around here this morning, but some sunshine is possible in the afternoon. This system will also end up producing some accumulating snow in the higher elevation interior locations of New York State and New England (great news for skiers). We'll experience windy and cool conditions here on Friday following the departure of the storm system and the weekend is looking quite promising with some sunshine likely on both days and rather mild temperatures. Longer term, it looks like additional chilly air masses are likely to drop into the central and eastern US from Canada during the remainder of the month of April.

After a nice day on Tuesday, our unsettled weather pattern will make a return for the next couple of days as a nor'easter forms up the coastline with the arrival of a chilly air mass into the Northeast US. This unfolding storm system will bring more rain to the DC metro region from later this morning into tomorrow night and will produce accumulating snow in the higher elevation interior locations of New York State and New England (great for skiers). We'll experience windy and cool conditions here on Friday following the departure of the storm system and the weekend is looking quite promising with some sunshine likely on both days and rather decent temperatures. Longer term, it looks like additional chilly air masses are likely to drop into the central and eastern US from Canada during the remainder of the month of April.

Just when most people desire the sustained warmth that spring can offer this time of year, the unfolding weather pattern says not quite yet – at least not for much of the central and eastern US. Not only is a chilly air mass coming for later this week, it appears there may be multiple cold air outbreaks for the central and eastern US as we progress through the remainder of the month of April. In addition to the chill, a late week nor’easter can bring accumulating snow to interior, higher elevations of the Northeast US as winter is simply not going away without a fight.
