The cold air mass that arrives early next week in the Mid-Atlantic/NE US will be reluctant to give up its ground as soon as mid-week and this could set the stage for some accumulating snow and ice in portions of the Mid-Atlantic/NE US.

Thanksgiving Day will feature a warm up in the eastern states as a low-level southwesterly flow of air develops on the back side of high pressure off to the east. This warm up will be rather short-lived, however, as a strong cold front pushes through by early Friday. There can be a few showers with the frontal passage late tonight and early tomorrow, but this will not be a heavy rain event. The winds will become quite strong on Friday with gusts past 35 mph to go along with the colder-than-normal conditions. The weekend begins on the cold and dry side and then attention will turn upstream for the next in a series of disturbances that will drop south and east out of Canada into the US. The late weekend disturbance will be rather potent and it will come with a reinforcing cold air mass for the eastern states. There is the chance that this upper-level feature will be able to spawn the formation of surface low pressure near enough to the east coast for some snow and/or rain to fall across portions of the Mid-Atlantic/NE US in the Sunday/Monday time frame.

Another strong cold front pushes through the area by early Friday and it’ll turn out to be another cold and windy day as we end the work week. The weekend remain on the cold side and a couple of upper air disturbances will have to be closely monitored in coming days for possible impact during the early part of next week.
