Two storms will impact the NYC metro region this week with the first likely to generate all rain from early tonight into Tuesday morning, but the second system could result in a wintry mix in parts of the area at the onset on Thursday. A large area of moisture is pushing northeast today from the southern states and rain will overspread our region early tonight and continue into Tuesday morning. Cold air will follow this system for tomorrow night and Wednesday and will be locked in place when a late week coastal storm gets going. As a result, it could be cold enough for a wintry mix for awhile with this late week storm; primarily, in higher elevation areas north and west of the metro area. Another cold blast is destined to arrive here during the upcoming weekend, but there are signs for a warm up during Thanksgiving week.

Another soaking rain event is on the way to the Mid-Atlantic region as low pressure pushes towards the Northeast US today from the southern states. The steadiest and heaviest rain from this system should fall in the late afternoon and evening hours and temperatures will remain well below normal for this time of year. Once this system passes by to the northeast this evening, winds will intensify and cold air will pour in from the northwest - just in time for the weekend. Temperatures on both weekend days should be confined to the 40’s all along the I-95 corridor and the wind will remain a noticeable factor through much of the day on Saturday. On Monday, a large area of moisture will pull out of the Gulf states and heads towards the Northeast US. Rain is likely to arrive here on Monday night and as low pressure intensifies near the Mid-Atlantic coastline on Tuesday, the rain is likely to become heavy at times. Once this system passes by to our northeast early Tuesday night, winds will intensify dramatically and another very cold air mass for this time of year will pour into the region for the mid-week.

Much colder-than-normal air has already infiltrated much of the northern US and soon it will extend to the east coast. This change to colder-than-normal conditions will stick around for awhile as a reinforcing shot of Arctic air will plunge southward into the Northern Plains by early next week and then spread eastward to the east seaboard on Tuesday night and Wednesday. In terms of precipitation, another soaking rain event is coming to the Mid-Atlantic region on Friday with the heaviest and steadiest rain likely to fall during the PM hours. Once this system passes by to the northeast of here late tomorrow night, winds will intensify and cold air will pour in from the northwest just in time for the weekend. A second storm is likely to pull out of the Gulf states early next week and produce more soaking rain here in the I-95 corridor on Monday night and Tuesday as it intensifies into a powerful system. This system will be followed by very strong - and potentially damaging - NW winds on Tuesday night and Wednesday and the influx of another very cold air mass for this time of year.

The active weather pattern that we have been experiencing is showing no signs of letting up and will take on a winter-like look in coming days with two cold shots and two storms coming our way. The first storm will arrive on Friday with more soaking rain for the already waterlogged DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor and this system will be followed by a winter-like cold shot for the weekend with temperatures way below-normal for this time of year. Another storm is likely to pull out of the Gulf of Mexico region early next week and head right towards the Mid-Atlantic coastline and this system will have some cold air in place before its arrival. As a result, while more soaking rain is likely in the immediate I-95 corridor on this storm’s front end in the Monday night/Tuesday time frame, there may be enough entrenched cold air for snow across interior higher elevation locations of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast US. This second storm system will then usher in a second very cold air mass by the middle of next week.

The active weather pattern that we have been experiencing during the past several weeks in the Mid-Atlantic region is showing no signs of letting up and will take on a winter-like look in coming days with two cold shots and two storms. The first storm will arrive on Friday with more soaking rain for the already waterlogged DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor and this system will be followed by a cold shot for the weekend with temperatures way below-normal for this time of year. Another storm is likely to pull out of the Gulf of Mexico region early next week and head right towards the Mid-Atlantic coastline and this system will have some cold air in place before its arrival. As a result, while more soaking rain is likely in the immediate I-95 corridor on this storm’s front end in the Monday night/Tuesday time frame, there may be enough entrenched cold air for snow across interior higher elevation locations of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast US. This second storm system will then usher in a second cold air mass by the middle of next week and as the cold air pours in, there is the chance for a rain-changing-to-snow scenario in some areas.

A strong cold front passed through the region last night and temperatures will trend downward during the next couple of days along with rain-free conditions. On Friday, yet another soaking rain event is likely to take place in the Mid-Atlantic region as low pressure pulls out of the southern states and heads right in our direction. That late week low pressure system will usher in a colder-than-normal air mass for the weekend and there will likely be a reinforcing shot of cold air by the middle of next week. The transition time period between the “initial” shot of cold air this weekend and the mid-week shot is likely to feature a strong coastal storm that may very well result in another soaking rain event for the I-95 corridor and perhaps some snow for interior sections of the Northeast US.

The active weather pattern that we have been experiencing in the eastern US during the past several weeks will continue through this week with a strong cold frontal passage later today and then another low pressure system to deal with on Friday. That late week low pressure system will usher in a much colder-than-normal air mass for the weekend, but that “initial” cold shot looks pale in comparison to what might arrive in the eastern US by the middle of next week. An Arctic air mass that originates in Siberia looks like it will push across the North Pole this weekend and then drop southward through Canada early next week. At the same time, low pressure is likely to push out of the Gulf of Mexico and towards the Mid-Atlantic coastline and potentially generate yet another soaking rain event in the Monday night/Tuesday time frame. The passage of this storm system will become the mechanism to allow the Arctic air mass to spread to the east coast in the Tuesday night/Wednesday time frame.

A strong cold front will press eastward today from the Midwest and it will generate more rain for the I-95 corridor and there can be a strong-to-severe thunderstorm mixed in as well. Once the front slides off the east coast late tonight, cooler air will spread into the Mid-Atlantic region for the next couple of days. By early Friday, low pressure will form in the southern states and make a push in our direction likely resulting in more rain around here at week’s end. Following this late week system, colder-than-normal air will flood into the eastern third of the nation for the upcoming weekend and a second shot of winter-like cold air will push southeastward into our area during the first half of next week.

The active weather pattern that we have experienced during the past few weeks will continue this week with three different systems to deal with by the upcoming weekend. The first system will be a low pressure area with its associated warm front that rides northward today along the east coast. This combination will generate periods of rain in our area and then warmer air pushes in on Tuesday ahead of system number two - a strong cold front. That strong cold front will press east from the Midwest on Tuesday and it is generate additional showers here and perhaps even a strong-to-severe thunderstorm. Following that frontal passage, cooler air will push in for the second half of the week and we’ll have to watch yet another low pressure system ride out of the southern states towards the Mid-Atlantic with the strong likelihood for more rain here on Friday and that will be followed by some very chilly air for the weekend and early part of next week.

Quite an active weather pattern is setting up for the Mid-Atlantic region from later today until later tomorrow. A strong cold front is now slowly inching its way towards the east coast and low pressure will form along its boundary zone later today in the Mid-Atlantic region. This developing low pressure system will be aided by a powerful jet streak in the upper part of the atmosphere and the end result will be heavy rain in the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor and the chance for some strong-to-severe thunderstorm activity with possible damaging wind gusts and even isolated tornadoes. In addition, once this system pushes off to the northeast on Saturday, the pressure gradient will tighten and NW winds could gust past 50 mph during the mid-day and afternoon hours in parts of the I-95 corridor.
