A cold front will approach the region today from the northwest and it has some support in the upper part of the atmosphere with a robust wave of energy and a powerful jet streak. As a result, there can be some snow shower activity in the region primarily from later this morning into the mid-afternoon hours. Small snow accumulations are possible in some areas along with quickly developing slick spots on roadways. There can be rain mixed in at times as well later in the day. Skies will clear tonight and high pressure will take control for the latter part of the work week. It turns milder this weekend ahead of the next strong cold frontal system which is likely to be accompanied by some rain shower activity in the Mid-Atlantic region. A colder air mass arrives early next week after the passage of the weekend cold front and we'll have to monitor a possible threat of low pressure near the eastern seaboard.

A cold front will arrive in the Mid-Atlantic region on Wednesday and it will be accompanied by a strong wave of energy in the upper part of the atmosphere and a powerful jet streak. As a result, snow showers can break out on Wednesday; primarily, in areas near and to the north of the PA/MD border region, and there is even the chance for small accumulations in some spots. High pressure resumes control of the weather for the latter part of the work week.

Low pressure pushed away from the Carolina coastline on Monday and strengthened out over the open waters of the western Atlantic Ocean. After a stubborn deck of clouds retreats later this morning, sunshine should return during the afternoon hours, but it'll remain cold and there will be increasingly breezy conditions. A cold front will approach the region later tonight and it could spawn some shower activity on Wednesday in the form of either snow or rain or perhaps a combination of the two. High pressure will build into the region for the latter part of the week and it'll turn milder this weekend ahead of the next cold front. The weekend cold front is likely to be accompanied by some shower activity in the Mid-Atlantic and it'll be followed by a colder air mass for the early part of next week.

Clouds this morning will stay south of here as low pressure pushes away from the Carolina coastline and strengthens out over the western Atlantic Ocean. An area of high pressure will build into the region on Tuesday and dominate our weather pattern right into the upcoming weekend. A frontal system will likely arrive late in the weekend and it may be accompanied by some rain activity in the Mid-Atlantic region.

Low pressure will pull out of the southern states today and intensify as it heads to a position just off the Mid-Atlantic coastline by early tomorrow. There can be occasional light rain around here later today and steadier and heavier rain from tonight into Saturday. There is a chance that it gets cold enough later tomorrow in the northern and western suburbs for the rain to mix with or change to sleet and/or snow as the storm intensifies off the Mid-Atlantic coastline and pushes to the northeast. Cold and dry weather should follow the storm around here to close out the weekend and then we'll have to watch another system on Monday that will be pushing out of the Gulf of Mexico and towards the east coast.

The major storm system that began the week in the Northeast US was the opening salvo in a colder and stormy weather pattern for much of the eastern half of the nation and another significant storm is in the offing for the early part of the weekend. Low pressure will pull out of the southern states on Friday and intensify as pushes to a position just off the Mid-Atlantic coastline by early Saturday. Rain is in the cards from this storm in the cities along the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor and in areas to the coast; however, it will become cold enough for accumulating snow in higher elevation, interior locations of the Northeast US with the heaviest snowfall amounts likely coming to interior New England. There is an outside chance that it gets cold enough on Saturday in the I-95 corridor and coastal sections for the rain to briefly mix with or change to sleet and/or snow during the back end of the storm.

Low pressure will pull out of the southern states on Friday and intensify as it heads to a position just off the Mid-Atlantic coastline by later Saturday. Significant rainfall is in the cards from this coastal storm in the NYC metro region and in all areas to the south and east. It may become cold enough for accumulating snow in higher elevation, interior locations of the Northeast US including such areas as the Poconos (PA), Catskills (NY) and central/western New England - all good news for skiers. There is even an outside chance that it gets cold enough later Saturday for the rain to briefly mix with or change to sleet and/or snow on the back end of the storm in some of the northern and western suburbs.

The major storm system that began the week was the opening salvo in a colder and stormy weather pattern for the central and eastern US and another significant storm is in the offing for the early part of the weekend. Low pressure will likely pull out of the southern states at the end of the week and intensify as it arrives in the northeastern quadrant of the nation. Significant rain is in the cards from this potential storm in areas along the coast and back to the I-95 corridor; however, it may become cold enough for accumulating snow during the second half of the storm in higher elevation, interior locations of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast US and inland sections of New England may end up with a major snowfall. In fact, there is an outside chance that it gets cold enough this weekend in portions of the immediate I-95 corridor for the rain to mix with or change to sleet and/or snow during the back end of the storm.

Slow-moving low pressure will pull away from the region today, but it’ll stay quite windy and cold despite plenty of sunshine. High pressure will be in control of the weather for the next couple of days, but then a storm system from the southern states could make a move in our direction at the end of the week. In fact, there is the chance for some significant precipitation from this storm system in the Friday night/Saturday time period and it could be cold enough for a changeover to sleet and/or snow on the back end of the system. Longer term, the overall weather pattern that has evolved should continue to bring more frequent cold air outbreaks into the central and eastern US into at least the middle of the month of December.

A strong cold front passed through the region late yesterday as a powerful storm system pushed northward in the eastern Great Lakes. The upper-level low associated with this strong storm is a slow-mover and it’ll remain unsettled around here today with the chance of additional showers. It’ll also be noticeably colder and there can even be some snowflakes mixed in at times and winds will remain quite brisk. The overall weather pattern is changing to one that will result in more persistent cold in coming days across much of the central and eastern US.
