A strong cold front will arrive in the eastern states late today and its passage will set the stage for some snow at mid-week in the Mid-Atlantic region and Northeast US. It’ll turn very windy and much milder today just ahead of the front along with a few rain showers. Temperatures will drop sharply in the overnight hours behind the front as the strong winds shift to a northwesterly direction. After a cold, dry and much less windy day on Tuesday, low pressure will push to a position off the Mid-Atlantic coastline by early Wednesday morning. The fresh cold air mass that arrives shortly following the passage of the front will maintain its ground at mid-week allowing for primarily snow in the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast US and minor accumulations are on the table.

A strong cold front will arrive in the eastern states later today and it’ll turn very windy and much milder ahead of it and then sharply colder behind it during the overnight hours. The winds can gust past 40 mph later in the day from a southwesterly direction and then again later tonight following the frontal passage from a northwesterly direction. After a cold and dry day on Tuesday, low pressure will push from the south-central states to a position off the Mid-Atlantic coastline on Wednesday bringing the chance of some snow which can be mixed with rain and/or sleet at times. Some snow accumulations are possible in the region with this mid-week system likely in the range of a coating to a couple of inches.

The weather pattern for next week looks quite active with a strong cold front arriving in the eastern states on Monday and then a low pressure system to follow at mid-week. The cold air mass that arrives early next week in the Mid-Atlantic/NE US will be reluctant to give up its ground as soon as mid-week and this could set the stage for some accumulating snow and ice in portions of the Mid-Atlantic/NE US.

The warm up that took place on Thursday is going to be rather short-lived as a cold front passed through the region in the overnight hours. A bit chillier air will move in for today and it’ll stick around through the upcoming weekend. The weather pattern for next week looks quite active with a strong cold front arriving in the eastern states on Monday and then low pressure may follow at mid-week. The cold air mass in the northeastern states that arrives early next week will be reluctant to give up its ground at mid-week and this could result in some snow and/or ice in portions of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast US.

The month of December is now underway and after a seasonably chilly day on Wednesday, it’ll turn windy and noticeably milder this afternoon with temperatures making a run to 65 degrees in DC, 60 in Philly, and to 55 degrees in NYC. This warm up will be rather short-lived, however, for at least the central and northern part of the Mid-Atlantic region as the next cold front will usher in chillier air for tomorrow and the upcoming weekend. The weather pattern for next week looks quite active with a strong cold front arriving in the eastern states early and then two systems could follow – one at mid-week and the second one in the late week. The cold air mass in the northeastern states that arrives early next week will be reluctant to retreat to the north and this could result in some snow and/or ice by mid-week in portions of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast US.

Following the passage of a warm front, winds will pick up in intensity today and temperatures will climb to noticeably milder levels and make a run at 60 degrees. A cold front will arrive later tonight and there will be a downward trend in temperatures going into the weekend as high pressure builds across southeastern Canada. The next strong cold front will arrive in the Mid-Atlantic region on Monday and its passage will usher in colder-than-normal air for much of the first half of next week. By the middle of next week, moisture from a quick-moving system could arrive with enough cold air still in place for snow and/or ice in some parts of the Mid-Atlantic region.

Weak high pressure will take control today, but then a warm front will lift northward tonight and it could generate a few rain and/or snow showers in the region. Following the passage of the warm front, winds will pick up in intensity on Thursday and temperatures will climb to noticeably milder levels. A cold front will arrive on Friday and there will be a downward trend in temperatures this weekend as strong, cold high pressure builds across southeastern Canada.

An upper-level disturbance passed through the Mid-Atlantic region on Monday generating some instability in the atmosphere, plenty of clouds, and even isolated snow shower activity. Today may be a pretty close resemblance to yesterday as another upper-level disturbance passes overhead. There will be plenty of clouds, maybe even snow at times, but the winds won’t be as noticeable as on Monday. A warm front could cause a few rain and/or snow showers on Wednesday night and it’ll turn noticeably milder on Thursday following its passage.

Low pressure will pull away from the Mid-Atlantic coastline today and head towards the Canadian Maritimes. In its wake, it’ll be a windy and cold day as the month of November winds down. High pressure will build into the region and remain on control through the mid-week time period. Milder conditions are likely in the Mid-Atlantic region for Thursday following the passage of a warm front.

Thanksgiving Day will feature a warm up in the eastern states as a low-level southwesterly flow of air develops on the back side of high pressure off to the east. This warm up will be rather short-lived, however, as a strong cold front pushes through by early Friday. There can be a few showers with the frontal passage late tonight and early tomorrow, but this will not be a heavy rain event. The winds will become quite strong on Friday with gusts past 35 mph to go along with the colder-than-normal conditions. The weekend begins on the cold and dry side and then attention will turn upstream for the next in a series of disturbances that will drop south and east out of Canada into the US. The late weekend disturbance will be rather potent and it will come with a reinforcing cold air mass for the eastern states. There is the chance that this upper-level feature will be able to spawn the formation of surface low pressure near enough to the east coast for some snow to fall across portions of the Mid-Atlantic/NE US in the Sunday/Monday time frame.
