It turns even milder here today with afternoon temperatures likely peaking here in the low-to-mid 60’s, but showers will be possible during the mid-day and afternoon as a second warm frontal system approaches the area and rain is likely tonight. On Wednesday, the wet and unseasonably mild conditions will continue ahead of an approaching strong cold frontal system and winds will become quite noticeable as well. The passage of the strong cold front on Wednesday evening will result in a sharp drop in temperatures and rain can change to snow for a brief time in the I-95 corridor region. Temperatures on Thursday will be in sharp contrast with highs both today and tomorrow and it’ll stay chilly on Friday. A warm-up will then commence on Saturday and we’ll likely get back to 60+ degrees for the second half of the weekend.

It turns noticeably milder today in the Mid-Atlantic region after a chilly start to the day…even milder weather is coming for Tuesday and Wednesday. In fact, the eastern 2/3rds of the nation will experience above-normal temperatures with the most dramatic departures-from-normal focused today on the central states where some spots can exceed averages by 35+ degrees. The warm-up will come to an abrupt end on Tuesday across the central US as the result of the passage of a powerful cold front and it will end rather dramatically in the Mid-Atlantic region as well on Wednesday evening. This west-to-east moving cold front can produce some severe thunderstorm activity on Tuesday in the Midwest/Ohio Valley and - with the sharp drop off in temperatures - the rain is likely to change briefly to snow in many spots. There can even be a changeover from rain-to-snow for a brief time in the Mid-Atlantic’s I-95 corridor on Wednesday evening following the passage of the strong cold front. The cold air mass that pushes in following the passage of the front will not last too long in the central or eastern US. In fact, another warm-up will commence by week’s end in the central US and by later this weekend in the Mid-Atlantic region.

The next few days will be noticeably milder across the Mid-Atlantic region, but it’ll also become unsettled with a couple of low pressures and a strong cold front on the way. Low pressure can result in some shower activity on Tuesday and Tuesday night and then the strong cold front will generate windy and wet conditions at mid-week. Temperatures will likely reach the 60’s each day through mid-week, but will then drop off sharply on Thursday following the passage of the front.

A cold front pushes through the region today causing a bit of rain or drizzle at times and then a chilly air mass will follow for tonight and the weekend. It turns noticeably milder during the first half of next week with temperatures likely reaching 60+ degrees each day. A strong cold front will arrive here later next week and its passage will bring an end to the warm spell in the Mid-Atlantic region.

There will be increasing clouds today ahead of an approaching cold front and that system will produce some rain around here from tonight into mid-day on Friday. On the backside of the front, a cold air mass will move in for Friday night and Saturday and winds will be a noticeable factor making it feel even colder than the actual air temperature. After a cool day to end the weekend, it turns much milder in the Mid-Atlantic region during the first half of next week with temperatures well up in the 60’s on each afternoon. A strong cold front is likely to arrive in the eastern states late next week after contributing to a possible severe weather outbreak in the Mississippi/Tennessee Valleys.

High pressure will remain in control of the weather today providing us with more dry, chilly and sunny conditions. Low pressure and its associated cold frontal system will then impact the area with some rain from late tomorrow into Friday morning before high pressure - and a fresh, cold air mass - returns for the upcoming weekend. Noticeably milder weather is on tap in the Mid-Atlantic region for the first half of next week.

The week began on the cold side with high pressure in control and it’ll stay seasonably chilly during the next couple of days with more sunshine on tap in the Mid-Atlantic region. Low pressure and its associated cold frontal system will then impact the area with rain from later Thursday into Friday morning before high pressure - and a fresh, chilly air mass - returns for the first half of the upcoming weekend.

After the busted snowfall forecast of late Friday night/early Saturday and the chilly remainder of the weekend, the new work week will begin on the cold side and high pressure will ensure plenty of sunshine throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. It’ll remain seasonably chilly over the next couple of days with high pressure remaining in control and there should be a continuation of dry, sunny conditions. Low pressure is then likely to impact the area with rain from later Thursday into Friday morning before high pressure and a fresh, cold air mass returns for the weekend.

A cold front that passed through the region last night has set up shop in the southern Mid-Atlantic region and low pressure will slide along the frontal boundary zone resulting in accumulating snow all along the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor from later this evening into early Saturday. While there will be limited moisture available to this system, and it’ll be a fast-mover, a strong and still-strengthening upper-level jet streak will enhance upward motion in the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor and the result will be several inches of snow in many spots by Saturday morning. Contrary to the storm earlier this week, this upcoming system will encounter an established cold, dry air mass on its front side meaning snow will be the dominate precipitation type all the way down to the DC metro region.

A cold front passed through the region last night and ushered in a reinforcing chilly air mass with high pressure taking (brief) control of the weather around here as we close out the work week. Low pressure will ride along that frontal boundary zone over the next 24 hours or so and there will be accumulating snow from later this evening into early Saturday morning. Snowfall estimates are 2-4 inches by early tomorrow morning in the DC metro region with isolated higher amounts possible and the snow should be of the light and fluffy texture…not the heavy, wet stuff of earlier in the week. The remainder of the weekend should be cold, breezy and dry with temperatures slightly below-normal for the middle of February and then a warm-up ensues early next week.
