7:00 AM | *Chilly, dry conditions next few days*

Paul Dorian

Weak low pressure will pull away from the Mid-Atlantic coastline this morning and high pressure will take control of our weather and we’ll experience below-normal temperatures and dry conditions through mid-week. A cold front will approach the region from the north later in the week and it’ll turn slightly milder ahead of it.

12:15 PM | *Shower/thunderstorm threat later today/early tonight…”clipper” system can produce some snow late Sunday night/early Monday*

Paul Dorian

Unseasonably mild conditions today across the Mid-Atlantic region ahead of a strong cold front which will usher in much colder air for the weekend.  As the front arrives later today, the threat for showers will increase and there can be a few strong thunderstorms mixed in; especially, along of and to the east of the I-95 corridor.  After a cold, dry weekend, a fast-moving “clipper” system will drop southeastward and into the Mid-Atlantic region late Sunday night/early Monday and it can produce some snow in the region extending from DC-to-southern NJ on the south side to southern PA on the north side including the Philly area – perhaps even small accumulations in some areas.

7:00 AM | *Windy and unseasonably mild today...colder and dry for the weekend*

Paul Dorian

The warm up that began yesterday will continue today as a cold frontal system in the Ohio Valley heads east and towards the Mid-Atlantic. Temperatures today will climb into the 60’s, but there will also be occasional showers mainly after noon and perhaps a strong thunderstorm or two. It’ll turn colder and dry this weekend following the passage of the cold front and then a clipper-like system is likely to stay just to our south late Sunday night/early Monday.

7:00 AM | *Much milder for today and Friday, but rain is on the way and there can be a couple of thunderstorms as well*

Paul Dorian

A big warm up will commence today as southwesterly flow in the lower atmosphere intensifies ahead of the next cold frontal system. That front will generate showers around here later tonight and during much of Friday and there can be a couple of thunderstorms mixed in as well. Temperatures today could make it to 60 degrees and then the mid 60’s are likely by tomorrow afternoon. Following the frontal passage tomorrow evening, it’ll turn colder for the weekend and each weekend day should feature some sunshine.

9:50 AM | **Powerhouse storm in nation’s midsection to have wide ranging impacts**

Paul Dorian

All the ingredients are coming together for rapid intensification today of low pressure as it pulls out of Colorado and moves into western Kansas.  In fact, the central barometric pressure of this intensifying low pressure system could bottom out near 28.67 inches later today and some spots may very well reach record low levels; especially, across Colorado and Kansas.  The combination of a strong “negatively-tilted” wave of energy in the upper atmosphere, sharp low-level temperature gradient, and powerful jet streaks in the atmosphere will help generate this powerhouse storm system that will have wide ranging impacts from blizzard conditions to its north and west to extreme winds and potential severe thunderstorms on its south and east side. 

Wind gusts are likely to surpass hurricane-force levels later today in a wide part of the nation from New Mexico/Texas to southern Nebraska and perhaps even to 90+ mph in places like Colorado and Kansas. These extreme wind gusts are unfortunately likely to result in widespread power outages, downed or damaged trees and very difficult travel conditions. Blizzard warnings have been posted all the way from Colorado to Minnesota/North Dakota for the expected heavy snowfall and extremely strong winds.

7:00 AM | *Warm up on Thursday and Friday will be accompanied by shower activity and perhaps a thunderstorm or two*

Paul Dorian

Clouds will increase later today as it turns a bit milder and the warm up will intensify on Thursday and Friday ahead of the next cold frontal system. Showers are likely to accompany the frontal system from late tomorrow night through Friday and there can be a thunderstorm or two mixed in. Following the frontal passage, it’ll turn colder this weekend and each weekend day should feature some sunshine.

7:00 AM | *Colder today, but it'll turn milder later this week ahead of the next cold front*

Paul Dorian

Colder air moved into the region late Monday and today will turn out to be a brisk and somewhat colder-than-normal day in the NYC metro region. After a clear and cold night, clouds will increase here later tomorrow and then it'll turn even milder on Thursday with a shower threat by nightfall. Showers are likely on Friday just ahead of a cold frontal passage with temperatures likely well up in the 60's and an isolated thunderstorm is on the table. The weekend looks dry from this vantage point, but it’ll turn colder following the late week passage of a cold frontal system.

7:00 AM | *A mild start to a relatively quiet week*

Paul Dorian

All in all, the upcoming week looks to be quieter than recent weeks and relatively mild except for perhaps a brief downturn on Tuesday. High pressure takes control of our weather pattern today following the passage of an overnight cold frontal system. The air mass for today will be relatively mild, but then it’ll turn cooler for Tuesday and a warm up begins on Wednesday. By the end of the work week, temperatures are likely to climb into the 60’s, but showers will be likely as the next cold front arrives.

7:00 AM | *Snow likely stays to the south of the metro region today...rain tomorrow night could start as a wintry mix in some spots*

Paul Dorian

Weak low pressure will push across the Mid-Atlantic region today and its snow should stay south of here for the most part. Clouds will increase as a result of this system and there can be just a touch of late day or evening snow in some spots; primarily, to the south and southwest of the NYC metro region. After a dry day on Saturday, a more important system with more moisture will push rain into our region later tomorrow evening and it could start as a wintry mix in the normally colder higher elevation suburban locations. The rain will end early on Sunday and afternoon temperatures could end up not far from the 50 degree mark with breezy and mainly cloudy conditions. A strong cold frontal passage will usher in colder air on Monday and it'll stay moderately cold on Tuesday and Wednesday. Elsewhere, another major snowstorm will take place this weekend in the Northern Plains and there will likely be another severe weather outbreak on Saturday across the Lower Mississippi Valley including possible tornadic activity.

1:20 PM | **Some accumulating snow on Friday in parts of the Mid-Atlantic region…frozen precipitation a possibility late Saturday evening in areas north of the PA/MD border**

Paul Dorian

Arctic cold continues to have a grip on the Mid-Atlantic region and weak low pressure on Friday is likely to result in a mainly snow event for most areas and small accumulations are possible.  Snow is likely to break out on Friday during the mid-day or early afternoon hours in the DC metro region and the early-to-mid afternoon hours in Philly as low pressure pushes towards the North Carolina/Virginia coastline.  The NYC metro region may escape with little, if any, snowfall from this weak system on Friday. A more important storm with more available moisture will generate precipitation in the Mid-Atlantic region late Saturday evening and it can be just cold enough at the onset in areas north of the PA/MD border for a period of freezing rain, sleet and/or snow before an ultimate changeover to plain rain.  This same system will produce a major snowstorm in the Northern Plains on Saturday and possibly another severe weather outbreak in the Mississippi Valley. Later Sunday, temperatures can climb to 60 degrees in DC, 55 degrees in Philly, and 50 degrees in NYC ahead of a strong cold front which will usher in colder air for the early part of next week.
