A strong cold front will pass through the region this morning ushering in a cold air mass for tonight and Saturday. Winds ahead of the front this morning will be from the southwest and then will shift to a northwesterly direction in the afternoon and temperatures will fall into the 40’s. Temperatures late tonight will bottom out in the mid-to-upper 20’s and be confined to the mid 40’s for highs on Saturday afternoon. Temperatures will rebound on Sunday and Monday as high pressure shifts to a position off the east coast allowing for the formation of a low-level southwesterly (and milder) flow of air.

A warm front will result in some shower activity around here later today and temperatures will again reach unseasonably mild levels likely in the upper 60’s for afternoon highs. A cold front will head this way later tonight bringing with it additional showers lasting right into the morning hours on Friday. It’ll turn much colder on Friday night and Saturday, but this cold snap will be rather short-lived as temperatures should rebound noticeably for Sunday and Monday.

The next couple of days will be unseasonably mild in the Mid-Atlantic region with upper 60’s on the table in the DC metro region for afternoon highs. As a front approaches on Thursday, the chance for showers will be on the increase and winds will pick up in intensity as well. After the frontal passage on Friday, it’ll turn much colder for Friday night and Saturday, but - as has been the case with most recent cold snaps - this one will be rather short-lived. Temperatures will begin a noticeable rebound on Sunday and the milder pattern will continue early next week.

A weak cool front passed through the region last night and high pressure will now resume control of the weather in the Mid-Atlantic region. After a mild day on Tuesday, it’ll turn even warmer tomorrow and it stays relatively warm on Thursday as well. Showers are likely later in the week as the next cold front approaches the eastern states from the Ohio Valley. Following the passage of this next cold front, it’ll turn colder to begin the weekend, but - as has been the case in recent weeks - the cold snap will be rather short-lived.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
