7:00 AM | ***An Arctic front blasts through the region late in the day...powerful winds tonight with sharply dropping temperatures***

Paul Dorian

The rain that we have experienced since early yesterday will wind down this morning and an Arctic front will blast through the region late in the day. As a result, winds will kick up noticeably later today and they will be very strong tonight with gusts possible to 50 mph or so. In addition, temperatures will drop sharply in the overnight hours bottoming out near 20 degrees and wind chills will be considerably lower. After a cold and sunny day on Tuesday, temperatures will moderate at mid-week under continuing mostly sunny skies.

3:10 PM (Friday) | ***May just see some snow later tonight in some of the northern/western suburbs…(plain) rain this weekend…a quick, but intense Arctic blast from later Monday into Tuesday***

Paul Dorian

Don’t be surprised to see some snowflakes later tonight in some of the northern and western suburbs along the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor as moisture pushes into a relatively cold and dry air mass (dew points in the teens). In fact, there can be a coating to an inch or so in some of the nearby northern and western suburbs of Philly and NYC and also in some of the far northern and western suburbs of DC.

Rain will be the dominate precipitation type on Saturday morning in the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor before it winds down at mid-day and there will be significant rainfall on Sunday and Sunday night. An Arctic front will then blast through the Northeast US/Mid-Atlantic region on Monday and the winds will kick up noticeably later in the day and continue quite strong on Monday night. In addition, the plunge in temperatures will be quite dramatic in this short, but intense Arctic cold air outbreak and there can even be a few snow squalls in the Northeast US upon its arrival.

7:00 AM | *A bit of snow possible late tonight and then some light rain tomorrow morning and mid-day...more significant rainfall coming on Sunday*

Paul Dorian

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.

7:00 AM | *Windy and colder today following the passage of a cold frontal system...a bit of snow possible late tomorrow night...light rain on Saturday morning...more significant rain on Sunday*

Paul Dorian

A cold front passed through the region last night and ushered in a colder air mass for the next couple of days after our brief mid-week spring tease. Low pressure will try to organize along the Mid-Atlantic coastline by late tomorrow night and it could generate snow or a wintry mix before daybreak and a dusting is possible in some northern and western suburban locations. Light rain is likely in the morning on Saturday and then more significant rain will fall on Sunday. A cold front pushes through the area early Monday bringing in another chilly air mass to the Mid-Atlantic region for the early part of next week.

7:00 AM | *A climb to the low-to-mid 50's for afternoon highs*

Paul Dorian

High pressure will take control today and under mostly sunny skies, afternoon temperatures will climb to a more comfortable low-to-mid 50's. A cold front passes through the region tonight perhaps accompanied by a shower or two and it’ll turn colder again for the last couple days of the work week. By the end of the week, low pressure will try to form near the Mid-Atlantic coastline and it can produce some rain and snow in the area late Friday night and Saturday.

7:00 AM | *A couple of showers possible through mid-day...windy this afternoon...near 50 degrees on Wednesday afternoon*

Paul Dorian

The day starts off with temperatures near the freezing mark in many spots so watch out for black ice on all road surfaces that appear wet. A frontal system will approach the region today and it can produce a couple of rain and/or snow showers and the winds will become very noticeable later in the day with gusts past 30 mph or so. High pressure will take control on Wednesday and under mostly sunny skies, afternoon temperatures will climb to a much more comfortable 50 degrees. A cold front passes through on Wednesday night and it’ll turn colder again for the last couple days of the work week.

7:00 AM | **Quick burst of snow from mid-to-late morning to early afternoon can cause some small accumulations**

Paul Dorian

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.

10:30 AM | ****Quick burst of heavy snow on Monday can generate rapid accumulations before a changeover to plain rain****

Paul Dorian

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.

12:00 PM (Friday) | ***Snow hanging around today across eastern PA, New Jersey, NYC***

Paul Dorian

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.
