A cold front passed through the region early yesterday and ushered in a colder air mass as we end the work week. Low pressure will try to organize along the Mid-Atlantic coastline by late tonight, but it will be rather weak. This system can generate some rain by late tonight which can be mixed with snow for a brief time in some of the northern and western suburbs. Light (plain) rain is likely tomorrow morning and at mid-day and then more significant rainfall is coming for Sunday. A cold front pushes through the area early Monday bringing in another chilly air mass for the early part of next week and the winds will kick up noticeably by late in the day.

A bit of a tricky situation today as we begin the new work week as there is likely to be quick burst of snow possibly mixed with sleet that can result in some small accumulations before milder air pushes in to change the precipitation to plain rain. A frontal system will slide through the region today with high pressure situated off the east coast and it’ll likely be just cold enough at the start for snow to fall and perhaps even accumulate a small amount. A southerly flow on the back side of the high will boost afternoon temperatures to above freezing causing any snow that falls to change to plain rain across the region. A clipper system to the northwest on Tuesday could produce a snow shower around here and the rest of the week looks rather quiet.

The new work week will begin with a bit of a tricky situation as there is likely to be a quick burst of heavy snow in the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor possibly mixed with sleet at times - all as a strong cold frontal system slides to the east. Snow, possibly mixed with sleet, should arrive by the mid-morning hours on Monday in DC and in the mid-to-late morning hours across the Philly and NYC metro regions. Rapid accumulations are likely before a changeover to plain rain takes place later in the afternoon.

In another long duration winter storm event, snow will tend to hang on today across eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York City and there can be small accumulations adding onto yesterday’s totals. A stretched-out wave of energy aloft is grinding its way to the east coast and it is generating enough lift in the atmosphere to produce snow in this part of the northern Mid-Atlantic region. High pressure takes back control this weekend, but it’ll remain on the cold side and the breeze will pick up noticeably.

The day will start off with freezing drizzle in most areas and as another low pressure area pushes northeast along a frontal system, sleet and snow will break out later this morning and last well into the afternoon. Additional accumulations of 1-3 inches are possible before the system winds down later in the day. High pressure takes over for the weekend, but then another low pressure area can bring us some snow or snow and rain combination on Monday.

The latest winter storm continues to pound away at the Mid-Atlantic with lots of snow north of the Pennsylvania/Maryland border and lots of icing to the south of there. There have been intense snow bands in the region from southeastern Pennsylvania to central New Jersey during the past few hours resulting in a quick piling up of snow to as much as 8 inches in some spots. The precipitation will tend to slacken off this afternoon, but this latest winter storm will turn into another relatively long duration event with redevelopment of the precipitation by tonight and there can be some impacts into the latter part of the day on Friday.

Snow will overspread the region later this morning as our next winter storm arrives and it can become heavy at times with quick accumulations likely. The snow can mix with sleet late in the day and the precipitation may actually lighten up for a brief time at day’s end and early tonight. Precipitation will then re-develop later tonight likely as a mix of sleet and snow and it can actually change back to all snow on Friday before precipitation winds down in what will turn out to be another rather long duration event. Snowfall accumulation estimates of 4-8 inches for the NYC metro region with isolated higher amounts possible N/W and there can be an icy buildup during the second half of the storm.
