6:30 AM | *A dry and chilly weekend on the way*

Paul Dorian

A cold front is pushing through the region this morning and high pressure will build in for later today and the upcoming weekend. After an isolated early day shower, dry conditions should prevail from later today through the upcoming weekend. In fact, there should finally be a decent amount of sunshine on back-to-back days this weekend for the first time in quite awhile. Elsewhere, a powerful storm system will slide all the way across the southern states this weekend after pounding California, and then it will hang out for awhile over the western Atlantic Ocean. A second storm system arrives along the US west coast later this weekend and it’ll produce additional heavy rainfall for the Golden State and lots of interior snows.

7:00 AM | *A bit milder today ahead of an approaching cold front that produces late night scattered showers*

Paul Dorian

A cold front will push through the area from late tonight into early Friday and it is likely to generate scattered rain shower activity in the region. High pressure will then push in for the weekend and we should finally get genuine sunshine on back-to-back days for the first time in quite awhile along with seasonably chilly conditions.

7:00 AM | *Still lots of clouds around and there can be a bit of drizzle or flurries*

Paul Dorian

A weak clipper system is tracking to our southwest this morning and high pressure will edge into the area later this afternoon…end result…a continuation of our recent cloudy weather pattern and there can be a bit of drizzle or flurries at times. There will be a weak cold front coming through later tomorrow night into early Friday with a couple of rain showers possible before a new high pressure system takes over for the weekend.

7:00 AM | *High pressure in control today...weak "clipper" system moves nearby late tonight/early tomorrow*

Paul Dorian

High pressure will remain in control of the weather in the Mid-Atlantic region into tonight with dry conditions and then a weak “clipper” could produce a couple of rain and/or snow showers later night into early Wednesday. High pressure will then resume control for later Wednesday and Thursday and a weak front can generate a couple of showers on Friday morning.

7:00 AM | *Low pressure pulls away from the Mid-Atlantic coastline...high pressure edges in for tonight and tomorrow*

Paul Dorian

Low pressure pulls away from the coast today leaving us with plenty of clouds, windy and chilly conditions. High pressure takes control for tonight and tonight and then a weak “clipper” heads this way by Wednesday. That system can produce some rain and/or snow shower activity around here from late tomorrow night into early Wednesday morning before another high pressure system takes over for the late week.

7:00 AM | **Temperatures to surge as we end the work week...more rain for the second half of the weekend**

Paul Dorian

The day will start off on the damp side around here with additional fog and drizzle, but the afternoon should turn out dry with partly sunny skies and a surge in temperatures to near 75 degrees. Another storm system will impact the DC metro region during the second half of the weekend with more rain as one low pressure system (primary) heads into the Ohio Valley and a secondary will forms near the Mid-Atlantic coastline. While there will be little cold air around initially, strong high pressure will build into southeastern Canada and act as a cold air source. This is likely to result in a changeover from rain-to-snow across some of the interior, higher elevation locations of the northern Mid-Atlantic region and there is a slight chance for a brief changeover across some of our far north and west suburbs late Sunday night.

7:00 AM | *More rain, fog and mild conditions for today and tonight...temperatures to surge on Friday to 65 degrees*

Paul Dorian

It’ll remain wet and mild in the Mid-Atlantic region both today and tonight and there can be some patchy fog around as well. It turns even warmer on Friday with lingering rain showers possible early in the day and there can be brightening skies in the afternoon. Temperatures will surge on Friday to near 65 degrees for afternoon highs ahead of an incoming cold frontal system. Another storm system is then going to impact the Mid-Atlantic region during the second half of the weekend with one surface low pressure system (primary) heading into the Ohio Valley and a secondary likely to form near the Mid-Atlantic coastline. While there will be little cold air around initially, strong high pressure will build into southeastern Canada and act as a cold air source. This is likely to result in a changeover from rain-to-snow across much of the interior, higher elevation locations in the Mid-Atlantic region and potentially, all the way down to the northern and western suburbs around here later on Sunday night.

1:00 PM | ***Dense fog, wet and mild in the Mid-Atlantic with a surge in temperatures on Friday…rain-to-snow scenario interior on Sunday night…wet MS/TN Valleys and west coast***

Paul Dorian

The next couple of days will be wet, foggy and mild in the Mid-Atlantic region and there will be a surge of temperatures on Friday in much of the I-95 corridor. Another storm system is then going to impact the Mid-Atlantic late in the weekend with one surface low pressure system (primary) heading into the Ohio Valley and a secondary likely to form near the Mid-Atlantic coastline. While there will be little cold air around initially, strong high pressure will build into southeastern Canada and act as a cold air source. This is likely to result in a changeover from rain-to-snow across much of the interior, higher elevation Mid-Atlantic region on Sunday night and there is a chance for a changeover to snow all the way down into the N/W suburbs of the big cities.

Elsewhere, the overall pattern for the next several days will bring copious amounts of rainfall to the Lower Mississippi and Tennessee Valleys - areas that have been quite dry in recent weeks - and to the US west coast from California-to-Washington which will be inundated by multiple storms during the next couple of weeks.

7:00 AM | *Mild and wet weather next few days*

Paul Dorian

The next few days will be mild in the Mid-Atlantic region and quite wet as well as moisture steadily flows to the northeast from the Gulf of Mexico. The warmest day of the week will be on Friday when temperatures surge to near 70 degrees in the DC metro region. Another storm system is then likely to impact the Mid-Atlantic region later in the upcoming weekend with one surface low pressure system (primary) heading into the Ohio Valley and a secondary likely to form near the Mid-Atlantic coastline. While there will be little cold air around initially, strong high pressure will build into southeastern Canada and act as a cold air source…possibly resulting in a changeover from rain-to-snow across interior sections of the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast US on Sunday night.

7:00 AM | *Chance for some freezing rain late tonight far N/W suburbs...wet and milder second half of the week with a surge in temperatures on Friday*

Paul Dorian

Strong high pressure system will push off the eastern seaboard today opening the door for moisture to push northeastward from the Gulf of Mexico and into the northern Ohio Valley. From there, the moisture will slide eastward later tonight bringing us the chance for late night rain and it could freeze on some surfaces across the far northern and western suburbs. On Wednesday - and also during the days on Thursday and Friday - it should be warm enough for just plain rain to fall throughout the metro region. Indeed, the warmest day of the week is likely to be on Friday at which time afternoon temperatures might peak near the 65 degree mark. The weekend begins on a mild note, but it turns colder by Sunday and low pressure is likely to bring us some rain to close out the weekend.
