7:00 AM | *Turns very mild again for the mid/late week...colder this weekend*

Paul Dorian

Low pressure pulls away from the coast today and the next system of interest here will be a cool front that passes through later tonight. High pressure resumes control by mid-week and it’ll be quite mild and then another cold front approaches late in the week likely with shower activity.  Chilly high pressure will follow the late week frontal passage for the upcoming weekend.

7:00 AM | **Mild today...colder on Saturday...coastal storm to bring us some rain on Sunday/Sunday night...wintry mix possible in suburbs at onset**

Paul Dorian

High pressure pushes into the Mid-Atlantic region today and will control the weather into the weekend.  After a mild end to the work week, it does turn colder this weekend on the back side of today’s cold frontal passage.  Strong low pressure will form along the east coast by Saturday night and it will likely bring some rain to the local region on Sunday and Sunday night.  There is an chance that sleet or snow can mix in at times during this event across some of the northern and western suburbs.

1:50 PM | **Weekend storm can bring rain, wind as far north as the southern Mid-Atlantic…accumulating snow in the higher elevations of the Appalachian Mountains**

Paul Dorian

An active weather pattern continues across the central and eastern US with one system producing accumulating snow today in the Upper Midwest and then a second system will produce rain, ice, and snow in parts of the eastern US this weekend.  One upper-level wave of energy heads to the Great Lakes region today and a second one will dive to the Deep South over the next couple of days. Low pressure is going to form near the Southeast US coastline later Saturday and it will then likely grind its way to the southern Mid-Atlantic coastline by later Sunday. While there will not be any kind of real cold air in place, the chance for significant accumulating snow this weekend is certainly there for the higher elevation locations of the Appalachian Mountains where over a foot can fall.

7:00 AM | *Weekend storm system can produce some rain around here*

Paul Dorian

Low pressure pushes to our northwest today and it can bring us some afternoon and evening rain shower activity along with relatively mild conditions.  Another low pressure system will develop in the southeastern states on Saturday and it can grind its way far enough to the north to impact the Mid-Atlantic region on Super Bowl Sunday. With no real cold air in place, any precipitation here on Sunday is likely to be in the form of rain, but a wintry mix of rain and snow cannot be completely ruled out in some of the far N/W suburbs if indeed this system does indeed head this far up the coast.

10:45 AM | **Severe weather threat today…weekend storm system can have an impact in the Mid-Atlantic on Sunday…elevation and “dynamic cooling” important factors in any wintry precipitation threat**

Paul Dorian

An active weather pattern continues across the nation with severe weather a threat later today in the south-central US/Lower Mississippi Valley and accumulating snow on the table later tomorrow across the Upper Midwest.  Another system will dive to the southeast over the next few days and reach the southeastern states by early this weekend.  Low pressure is likely to form near the Southeast US coastline on Saturday and it can grind its way far enough to the north to impact the Mid-Atlantic region on Super Bowl Sunday.  While there will not be any kind of real cold air mass in place, the chance for snow or sleet is on the table in higher elevation locations of the Carolinas and Mid-Atlantic region and potentially in other “dynamically cooled” regions.

7:00 AM | *Mild today with some sunshine...low pressure pushes up to our northwest on Thursday bring us a chance for rain*

Paul Dorian

It’ll turn milder today with some sunshine and then low pressure heads to our northwest on Thursday bringing with it a warm frontal system to our area and a chance for some rain. Another low pressure system is likely to develop this weekend in the Southeast US and it could make it far enough to the north to impact the Mid-Atlantic region by Sunday with rain or perhaps even a wintry mix of rain and snow.

7:00 AM | *A milder second half of the week with chances for rain*

Paul Dorian

High pressure will remain in control for another day in the Mid-Atlantic region, but a frontal system can bring us a shower or two by late tonight.  Low pressure will then move from the central US to the Great Lakes and it can bring us rain on Thursday along with mild conditions. Another low pressure system will follow close behind and it can bring some rain here early this weekend as it turns colder in the Mid-Atlantic region.

7:00 AM | *An increasingly mild week with some rain for the second half*

Paul Dorian

A weak cold front passed through the region last night and high pressure will build through mid-week.  Low pressure will then move from the central US to the Great Lakes and it can bring us rain on Thursday along with milder conditions. Another low pressure system can bring us some rain from Friday into Saturday and then it’ll turn colder this weekend.

7:00 AM | ***Arctic blast brings two days of severe cold and painfully low wind chill values to the Mid-Atlantic***

Paul Dorian

An Arctic front will sweep through the region early today and this will usher in severe cold for the region for the next 48 hours.  The winds will pick up noticeably as well leading to painfully low wind chill values in this two-day Arctic blast.  Temperatures should bottom out in the lower teens later tonight and persistent stiff NW winds will make it feel much colder than the actual air temperatures. Temperatures will moderate noticeably by Sunday afternoon as high pressure pushes offshore and a low-level southwesterly flow of air develops in the Mid-Atlantic region.

7:00 AM | ***An Arctic blast arrives on Friday and brings very cold conditions here through Saturday with painfully low wind chill values***

Paul Dorian

An Arctic front will sweep through the region early on Friday and this will usher in severe cold for Friday, Friday night, and Saturday.  The winds will pick up noticeably as well leading to painfully low wind chill values in this upcoming two-day Arctic blast.  Temperatures should bottom out near the 10 degree mark later Friday night/early Saturday morning and persistent stiff NW winds will make it feel even much colder than the actual air temperatures.  Temperatures will moderate noticeably by Sunday afternoon as high pressure pushes offshore and a low-level southwesterly flow of air develops in the Mid-Atlantic region.
