7:00 AM | *Weak low pressure can produce a touch of snow today...surge of record warmth possible on Saturday*

Paul Dorian

Weak low pressure will push to a position off the Mid-Atlantic coastline by later today and it could produce a touch of snow in some spots at times, but its overall impact will be very limited. This system features little support in the upper atmosphere, a limited amount of moisture, and any intensification of the surface low is going to wait until it is well off the east coast. It remains cold on Thursday, but will turn much milder again by the beginning of the weekend. In fact, a surge of warmth on Saturday could bring record high temperatures to the metro region with temperatures soaring towards 70 degrees…turns colder again on Sunday.

7:00 AM | *Cold, dry today with much less wind than Monday...a touch of snow possible on Wednesday*

Paul Dorian

A strong cold front passed through the region in the overnight hours with scattered showers and some very gusty winds. After a cold, dry and much less windy day on Tuesday, weak low pressure will push to a position off the Mid-Atlantic coastline by early tomorrow morning. This system has little support aloft, limited moisture, and should only be able to produce a touch of snow in portions of the Mid-Atlantic region on Wednesday. It remains cold on Thursday, but will turn much milder again by the beginning of the weekend.

11:00 AM | *Strong cold front arrives late today with powerful winds…some snow possible at mid-week in the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast US...another active front this weekend*

Paul Dorian

A strong cold front will arrive in the eastern states late today and its passage will set the stage for some snow at mid-week in the Mid-Atlantic region and Northeast US. It’ll turn very windy and much milder today just ahead of the front along with a few rain showers. Temperatures will drop sharply in the overnight hours behind the front as the strong winds shift to a northwesterly direction. After a cold, dry and much less windy day on Tuesday, low pressure will push to a position off the Mid-Atlantic coastline by early Wednesday morning. The fresh cold air mass that arrives shortly following the passage of the front will maintain its ground at mid-week allowing for primarily snow in the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast US and minor accumulations are on the table.

7:00 AM | *Strong cold front arrives later today with powerful wind gusts...some snow likely at mid-week*

Paul Dorian

A strong cold front will arrive in the eastern states later today and it’ll turn very windy and much milder ahead of it and then sharply colder behind it during the overnight hours. The winds can gust past 40 mph later in the day from a southwesterly direction and then again later tonight following the frontal passage from a northwesterly direction. After a cold and dry day on Tuesday, low pressure will push from the south-central states to a position off the Mid-Atlantic coastline on Wednesday bringing the chance of some snow which can be mixed with rain and/or sleet at times. Some snow accumulations are possible in the region with this mid-week system likely in the range of a coating to a couple of inches.

12:50 PM | **An active pattern coming…strong cold front arrives on Monday with powerful winds...some snow at mid-week in the Mid-Atlantic region*

Paul Dorian

The weather pattern for next week looks quite active with a strong cold front arriving in the eastern states on Monday and then a low pressure system to follow at mid-week. 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.

7:00 AM | *Active weather next week...strong cold front arrives early...rain/snow/ice threat at mid-week*

Paul Dorian

The warm up that took place on Thursday is going to be rather short-lived as a cold front passed through the region in the overnight hours. A bit chillier air will move in for today and it’ll stick around through the upcoming weekend. The weather pattern for next week looks quite active with a strong cold front arriving in the eastern states on Monday and then low pressure may follow at mid-week. The cold air mass in the northeastern states that arrives early next week will be reluctant to give up its ground at mid-week and this could result in some snow and/or ice in portions of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast US.

10:15 AM | **Active weather pattern next week…strong cold front early…mid-week system threatens Mid-Atlantic/NE US with snow/ice**

Paul Dorian

The month of December is now underway and after a seasonably chilly day on Wednesday, it’ll turn windy and noticeably milder this afternoon with temperatures making a run to 65 degrees in DC, 60 in Philly, and to 55 degrees in NYC. This warm up will be rather short-lived, however, for at least the central and northern part of the Mid-Atlantic region as the next cold front will usher in chillier air for tomorrow and the upcoming weekend. The weather pattern for next week looks quite active with a strong cold front arriving in the eastern states early and then two systems could follow – one at mid-week and the second one in the late week. The cold air mass in the northeastern states that arrives early next week will be reluctant to retreat to the north and this could result in some snow and/or ice by mid-week in portions of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast US.

7:00 AM | *Becoming windy and much milder today with an afternoon run at 65 degrees*

Paul Dorian

Following the passage of a warm front, winds will pick up in intensity today and temperatures will climb to noticeably milder levels and make a run at 65 degrees. A cold front will arrive later tonight and there will be a downward trend in temperatures going into the weekend as high pressure builds across southeastern Canada. The next strong cold front will arrive in the Mid-Atlantic region on Monday and its passage will usher in colder-than-normal air for much of the first half of next week. By the middle of next week, moisture from a quick-moving system could arrive with enough cold air still in place for snow and/or ice in some parts of the Mid-Atlantic region.

7:00 AM | *Warm front arrives tonight...much milder and windy conditions on Thursday following its passage*

Paul Dorian

Weak high pressure will take control today, but then a warm front will lift northward tonight and it could generate a few rain showers in the region. Following the passage of the warm front, winds will pick up in intensity on Thursday and temperatures will climb to noticeably milder levels. A cold front will arrive on Friday and there will be a downward trend in temperatures this weekend as strong, cold high pressure builds across southeastern Canada.

7:00 AM | *Still chilly today with plenty of clouds, maybe a snow shower or two in the AM...much milder on Thursday/Friday following passage of warm front*

Paul Dorian

An upper-level disturbance passed through the Mid-Atlantic region on Monday generating some instability in the atmosphere, plenty of clouds, and even isolated snow shower activity. Today may be a pretty close resemblance to yesterday with another upper-level disturbance passing overhead. There will be plenty of clouds today, maybe even a couple of AM snow showers, but the winds will be much less noticeable than on Monday. A warm front could cause a few rain showers on Wednesday night and it’ll turn noticeably milder on Thursday following its passage.
