6:00 AM | *Quieter weather today...a decent weekend...cold shot arrives for Tuesday and Wednesday*

Paul Dorian

A strong cool front passed through the region late yesterday and today will be slightly cooler and a lot quieter. High pressure will build into the area today and it should provide decent weather into the weekend, but then a complex of disturbances will bring about some changes by early next week. The threat of showers will increase again by Sunday night and the coldest air mass of the season should spin its way into the northeastern states for Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. In fact, lake effect snow showers could develop during the first half of next week for the first time this season in the Great Lakes and Northeast US.

1:15 PM | **Cold shot reaches the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast US next Tuesday/Wednesday…lake effect snow showers for the first time this season**

Paul Dorian

There have been a few chilly air masses that have reached the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast US in recent weeks, but the one destined to arrive here for next Tuesday and Wednesday will likely be the chilliest so far this season. A deep upper-level trough of low pressure will tend to rotate around and intensify during the next few days over the Great Lakes and southern part of Canada and then this system will spin its way into the eastern US by the middle of next week. With lots of instability in the atmosphere and the cold air mass pushing over the still relatively warm of the Great Lakes, snow showers are likely just downstream for the first time this season.

7:00 AM | **Wet and windy conditions today with arrival of a strong cool front**

Paul Dorian

A strong cool front will cross the area later today and it will be accompanied by showers – some of which can be heavy at times – and an afternoon or evening thunderstorm is possible as well with gusty winds. It’ll turn moderately cooler on Friday as high pressure builds into the area. A strong upper-level trough of low pressure should rotate into the northeastern states early next week and it could turn quite a bit chillier here by Tuesday.

7:00 AM | *One more nice day and then a wet and windy Thursday/Thursday night associated with a strong cool front*

Paul Dorian

High pressure will remain in control of the weather around here for another day and then the most active weather day this week will take place on Thursday with the arrival of a strong cold front. Occasional showers are likely from Thursday into Thursday night, some of the rain can be hard at times, and strong wind gusts are possible. In addition, scattered thunderstorms are possible as the cold front works its way through the region. A cool air mass will follow the frontal passage for Friday and Saturday and then an even colder air mass could rotate into the northeastern states early next week.

7:00 AM | *Nice today and tomorrow...wet and windy on Thursday/Thursday night with next cold front*

Paul Dorian

High pressure will remain in control of the weather around here both today and tomorrow and then the most active weather day this week will take place on Thursday with the arrival of a strong cold front. Occasional showers are likely from Thursday into Thursday night, some of the rain can be hard at times, and strong wind gusts are possible. In addition, scattered thunderstorms are possible as the cold front works its way through the region. A cool air mass will follow the frontal passage for Friday and Saturday and then an even colder air mass could rotate into the northeastern states early next week.

7:00 AM | *High pressure in control as we begin the new week...strong cold front arrives on Thursday*

Paul Dorian

High pressure will be in control for the first half of the week with mild temperatures and highs generally near the 70 degree mark. The most active weather day of the week will be Thursday when a strong cold front arrives in the Mid-Atlantic region. This frontal passage later in the week could produce downpours and possible strong wind gusts and cooler air returns for the week’s end and upcoming weekend.

7:00 AM | *Chilly air mass headed this way for the weekend...coolest temperatures so far likely early Sunday*

Paul Dorian

A cold front will pass through the region today without any precipitation; however, it will have an impact on temperatures as it’ll usher in another chilly air mass to the Mid-Atlantic region. After highs near 75 degrees this afternoon, temperatures will likely be confined to the 50’s on Saturday and the coolest readings so far are possible by early Sunday morning. It stays cool on Sunday to close out the weekend and there should be a mild and quiet start to the new week on Monday and Tuesday.

2:00 PM | ***Next chilly air mass headed to the Mid-Atlantic region for this weekend…additional chilly air masses are destined to push in during the next couple weeks***

Paul Dorian

The month of October has gotten off to a very chilly start in the Mid-Atlantic region and there will be another chilly air mass headed this way for the upcoming weekend. In fact, the lowest temperature readings of the season so far could come early Sunday morning, but this will very likely not be the low point of the month. Additional chilly air outbreaks are destined to move from central Canada and into the Mid-Atlantic region during the next couple of weeks and these could very well have an Arctic connection.

7:00 AM | *The sun returns in full force today and with it a boost in temperatures*

Paul Dorian

Low pressure finally kicked away from the Mid-Atlantic coastline late yesterday and sunshine will return today (great big yellow ball in the sky) boosting temperatures back to 70+ degrees for the first time in days. A strong cold front will pass through the area on Friday with some gusty winds and a possible shower and its passage will usher in a chilly air mass for the weekend. In fact, temperatures late Saturday night/early Sunday morning could drop to the lowest levels so far this season.

7:00 AM | *Low pressure finally scoots away from the coast later today...much better for Thursday/Friday...chilly again this weekend*

Paul Dorian

Low pressure that has been spinning for days just off the Mid-Atlantic coastline will finally be “kicked” out to sea later today with the approach of an upper-level trough from south-central Canada. As a result, the weather will improve noticeably on Thursday and the nicer weather will hold out on Friday as well despite the arrival of a strong cold frontal system. The passage of this next cold front will usher into the Mid-Atlantic region the next in a what will be a series of chilly air masses destined to come this way in coming days and weeks.
