The weather pattern across the nation will become quite wild over the next couple of weeks with widespread bitter cold and multiple snow threats. After a mild and wet day on Saturday in the Mid-Atlantic, a strong cold front will pass through the region and usher in a colder air mass for Christmas Eve (Sunday). In fact, it looks like once this colder pattern sets up in the Mid-Atlantic region, it’ll stick around going well into the month of January. In addition to the upcoming cold, there are likely to be multiple snow threats going forward including one for the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast US on Sunday night and early Monday (Christmas Day) and then another possible accumulating snow threat at the end of next week.

We’ll turn milder for Friday and Saturday after a chilly day on Thursday and it’ll turn wet as well as a cold front approaches the Mid-Atlantic region. That front should usher in colder air for Christmas Eve (Sunday) and Christmas Day (Monday) and there is a chance for more rain as low pressure forms near the east coast and a chance that the rain changes to snow before ending. It’ll stay colder for the remainder of next week and there may be an even better setup for snow around the end of the week.

After a mild and wet day on Saturday, a strong cold front will pass through the region and usher in a colder air mass for Christmas Eve (Sunday) and Christmas Day (Monday). In fact, it looks like once this colder pattern sets up in the Mid-Atlantic region, it’ll stick around for the next couple of weeks. Low pressure is likely to form near the coast late this weekend as the colder air filters into the I-95 corridor and this could generate more rain which could change to snow before ending; especially, in the northern Mid-Atlantic and Northeast US. Looking ahead and still in the "speculation" phase, there may be a nice setup at the end of next week for snow in the region.

It’ll turn colder today following the passage of a frontal system and it should stay seasonably cold on Thursday as well. We’ll turn milder for Friday and Saturday and it’ll turn wet as a cold front approaches the Mid-Atlantic region. That front should usher in colder air for Christmas Eve (Sunday) and there is a chance for more precipitation on Sunday and Monday, perhaps even a changeover from rain-to-snow as it turns colder. It’ll stay colder for the remainder of next week and there may be an even better setup for snow at the week’s end.

It’ll turn milder today ahead of a cold frontal system with afternoon temperatures climbing past the 50 degree mark. Following the frontal passage, it’ll turn moderately cold for Wednesday and Thursday only to turn milder again at the end of the week. Unfortunately, the late week warm up is likely to come with some rain in the Mid-Atlantic region for late Friday and Saturday. Looking ahead, brutal cold air will plunge into the Northern Plains this weekend and colder-than-normal air is likely spread to the Mid-Atlantic region right around Christmas Day (Monday).

This is looking like a relatively quiet week across the country compared to last, but next week could turn out to be quite active with storm threats and brutal cold air is likely to plunge into the US from way up north. The bitter cold air mass will first arrive in the Northern Plains by this weekend and then it should spread across much of the rest of the nation during the early part of next week. “Teleconnection” signals support the notion that it turns very cold next week in much of the nation and the new year is likely to start in the deep freeze for many areas.

It’ll start off on the chilly side this morning, but we should climb to near 50 degrees this afternoon and then likely reach the mid 50's for highs on Tuesday. Following a cold frontal passage, we'll turn moderately cold again on Wednesday and Thursday only to turn milder again by the early part of the weekend. Unfortunately, the milder conditions at the end of the week and beginning of the weekend are likely to be accompanied by some rainfall.

This is going to be the third accumulating snow even this week in parts of the I-95 corridor which is pretty impressive for any time of the winter season, but particularly notable for the first half of December. Low pressure will intensify off the Mid-Atlantic coastline this afternoon and snow is now breaking out in many areas in this entrenched cold air mass. Given the very cold ground-level conditions, slippery spots are very likely to form rather quickly this afternoon on many roadways and average accumulations of a dusting to a couple of inches are likely in along the I-95 corridor with even higher amounts at the NJ coastline and in isolated spots around here.

Earlier in the week, it looked like we had a real threat for more accumulating snow at the end of the work week. Then the chances seemingly diminished at mid-week as it appeared a couple waves of energy would not consolidate in time to have an impact on the local region. Now, the threat is back on and indeed it looks like low pressure will form quickly enough near the Mid-Atlantic coastline later today to generate accumulating snow in at least parts of our area; primarily, from the city of NYC to points south from there. Snow should break out late this afternoon and continue into the evening rush hour and accumulations on the order of a dusting to a couple of inches in the city of NYC and points east and south from there. Roads could get slippery in a hurry given the very cold ground-level conditions.After a cold day on Saturday, a milder stretch of weather will finally arrive for Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.

The “clipper” low pressure system is pulling away from the New Jersey coastline and there should be some sunshine around here later today with temperatures climbing to above-freezing levels; however, it'll turn quite cold again tonight with overnight lows in the upper teens. Another low pressure system will try to form along the Mid-Atlantic coastline later tomorrow and we'll have to monitor it to see if it can strengthen in time to impact the region. High pressure will return to the Mid-Atlantic region for the upcoming weekend.
