Very mild air for this time of year will return to the Mid-Atlantic region today following the overnight passage of a warm frontal system. Temperatures could reach the 70 degree mark for highs on Thursday and it will stay quite mild right into the weekend. On Saturday, a strong cold front will approach from the northwest and likely generate showers around here and perhaps a thunderstorm or two. It’ll turn quite a bit colder on Sunday following the passage of the cold frontal system and temperatures should hold in the 40’s as we close out the weekend.

High pressure will shift offshore later today and a warm front will cross the region in the overnight hours. This will allow for the return of very mild air back into the Mid-Atlantic region and high temperatures by Thursday afternoon could flirt with the 70 degree mark once again. A strong cold front is coming for the weekend and it will generate showers and possibly a thunderstorm on Saturday and then noticeably cooler conditions for Sunday.

High pressure across southeastern Canada will bring temperatures down to more seasonal levels over the next couple of days as low-level northerly winds develop in the region. After this high pressure system pushes off the coast on Tuesday, it’ll turn warmer again for the second half of the week. However, it’ll also become somewhat unsettled later this week as numerous frontal systems will take up residence in the Mid-Atlantic region.

First, an update on the weather situation in California…an intense storm closes in today and it’ll produce widespread heavy rainfall across the state with up to ten inches possible in southern sections. In fact, this could turn out to be one of the worst storms in many years for southern California with strong winds, possible power outages and flash flooding to go along with the heavy rainfall. Yet another storm arrives early next week and this one is likely to primarily pound northern California with additional substantial rainfall - something they certainly don't need.
Here in the Mid-Atlantic region, high pressure pushes off the coast this weekend and this will allow warmer air to push into the area from the southwest. In fact, high temperatures could flirt with 60 degrees in the NYC metro region on both weekend days – a true taste of spring. High pressure will then build into SE Canada on Monday and this should cause temperatures to slide back some in the Mid-Atlantic for a couple of days; especially, from New York City northward. It’ll then turn warmer again by the middle and latter parts of next week.

A substantial warm up will begin this weekend and likely continue for a week to ten days, but we’ll have to suffer through a couple of chilly days before we get there. Colder air has pushed into the region riding in on strong NW winds on the backside of intensifying low pressure off of the Northeast US coastline. This storm will again pound the northern part of New England with snow and it’ll keep us on the blustery, chilly side into tomorrow as high pressure builds into the Mid-Atlantic region. By the weekend, this high pressure system will push off the coast and this new positioning will allow for the return of warmer air into the Mid-Atlantic - and it looks like this warm up will have some staying power right into the latter part of the month.

A substantial warm up will begin here this weekend and likely continue for a week to ten days, but we’ll have to go through another cold shot before we get to that point. Today will feature lots of clouds as one system passes by just to our north and a second system passes by just to our south. Rain showers are possible during the mid-day and afternoon hours and there can be snow or ice pellets mixed in at times. Later tonight, these two systems will merge off the Northeast US coastline, a deep trough will form in the upper atmosphere, and NW winds will push colder air back into the region. High pressure returns by the weekend and, then shifts to a position off the east coast which will allow warmer air to move in from the southwest.

A substantial warm up is possible around here beginning this weekend and continuing into early next week, but we’ll have to go through another cold shot first during the second half of the week. Today will be much calmer than yesterday as high pressure pushes into the region following yesterday’s rambunctious atmosphere. Low pressure to our northwest on Wednesday will combine with another one to our south to throw some clouds our way and perhaps a snow or rain shower or two. Those two systems will merge off the New England coastline late Wednesday night and it’ll turn colder and windy again around here for the last couple days of the work week.

Intense low pressure off the Maine coastline is producing a very tight pressure gradient in the Northeast US and the result will be the continuation of intense winds as we begin the new work week. Gusts can reach 60 mph this morning and up to 50 mph this afternoon and there is the concern for more in the way of downed limbs and power outages. The cold frontal passage of last night has ushered in a colder air mass and it’ll feel even worse due to the strong winds. At mid-week, a “clipper” system will drop into the area from our northwest and it could generate snow showers in the region.

One winter storm is now long gone, but the overall weather pattern remains quite active for the Northeast US and there will be lots to monitor over the next week or so. First, a clipper system dropping southeast from Canada will bring some light snow to the northern Mid-Atlantic region late tonight and early Saturday. Second, after primarily rain on Sunday in the Mid-Atlantic, a powerful cold front will whip through the region Sunday night and winds should intensify to quite strong - and potentially damaging levels - on Sunday night and Monday. Finally, there are some early signals for a storm to form near the east coast later next week which has a lot of potential, but also many questions still to iron out.

High pressure builds into the region today, but clouds will tend to increase as a warm front approaches from the south and it can bring us a touch of light snow overnight and early Saturday. Low pressure then tracks to our northwest on Sunday and that should generate some rain in the area which could begin as a wintry mix. A cold front will then sweep through Sunday night and its passage will usher in a colder air mass for the early part of next week and it'll become extremely windy on Monday
