There can be a bit of freezing rain and/or snow this morning with little, if any, in the way of additional accumulations. Low pressure pushes off to our northeast and very cold air will flow into the area on its backside. Temperatures later tonight could drop to the teens with the influx of Arctic air and fresh snow cover. Another accumulating snow event is on tap for the end of the work week and this storm system will be followed by another Arctic blast for the upcoming weekend.

During the past couple of years, many spots along the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor have not had more than an inch of snow in any single event…that “snow drought” is about to end. In fact, there will likely be two accumulating snow events this week in the Mid-Atlantic region with the first one from later today into Tuesday likely resulting in a general 2-4 inch snowfall and there can be isolated higher amounts of 5 inches. The second accumulating snow event comes at week’s end and this one has the potential to produce significant snowfall amounts. This late week system will be followed by an Arctic blast for the upcoming weekend in the Mid-Atlantic region. Temperatures are likely to climb back to above-normal levels later next week, but Arctic outbreaks are destined to return to the central and eastern US during late January and February given the on-going stratospheric warming event over the northern hemisphere polar region.

Low pressure will begin to intensify just off the Carolina coastline by later today and then push northeastward on Tuesday just off the east coast. Snow develops here later today and continues into mid-day on Tuesday with 2-4 inches likely and isolated higher amounts of 5 inches are possible…the most snowfall in many spots in a couple of years. High pressure will then take control at mid-week and then another coastal low pressure system is will develop on Friday and this system has the potential to bring significant snow accumulations to the Mid-Atlantic region. Signs point to another Arctic blast to follow making for very cold conditions during the upcoming weekend with single digits lows possible in many suburban locations of the Mid-Atlantic region.

An active weather pattern continues across the nation and it’ll bring us more wintry precipitation today and tonight that can result in 1-3 inches of snow and ice accumulation. In addition to the snow, very cold conditions will dominate the scene with temperatures likely falling from the low-to-mid 20’s into the teens later today and then down into the lower teens late tonight.

Intensely cold air poured into the region this weekend and it will remain here today to start off the new week. Temperatures will struggle to climb above the zero degree mark and the winds will generate dangerously low wind chill values of well below zero. In addition to the bitter cold conditions, there will be periods of snow today that can accumulate on the order of 1-3 inches. Temperatures do moderate significantly by the middle and latter parts of the week and the upcoming weekend can have highs back to 50+ degrees.

Low pressure will begin to intensify just off the Carolina coastline by later today and then push northeastward on Tuesday just off the east coast. There will be some accumulating snow around here early today (coating to an inch) and then a lull in the precipitation for the late morning hours and then the snow re-develops during the afternoon. The snow will continue tonight and into Tuesday morning with 2-4 inches likely and isolated higher amounts of 5 inches are possible…the most snowfall in many spots in a couple of years. High pressure will then take control at mid-week and then another coastal low pressure system will develop on Friday and this system has the potential to bring significant snow to the Mid-Atlantic region.

It’ll be quite an active week in the Mid-Atlantic region beginning with the arrival of an Arctic front on Sunday followed by a couple chances for accumulating snow during the work week and then there can be another Arctic blast next weekend. The arrival of the Arctic front on Sunday can come with powerful wind gusts and snow squalls that can put down a quick small accumulation anytime from late-morning to mid-afternoon. During the week, low pressure is likely to intensify just off the Carolina coastline on Monday night and Tuesday and this system will bring some accumulating snow to the I-95 corridor from later Monday into Tuesday. Another system will likely push into the Mid-Atlantic region at the end of the work week - possibly with another round of accumulating snow - and there is likely to be an impressive Arctic blast to follow for next weekend.

A powerful storm system that will produce blizzard conditions across the Midwest and Great Lakes will the Mid-Atlantic region more heavy rain and strong winds from early tonight into early Saturday. Given the already well saturated grounds from recent heavy rain, localized flooding is likely to become an issue with the coming rainfall and with the strong winds expected, isolated power outages are a possibility. Colder air will follow this storm for the second half of the weekend and for much of next week as well. Low pressure may intensify off the east coast in the early-to-middle part of next week and that could result in some accumulating snow for the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor, but details still need to be ironed out. There is also a second threat of snow for us late next week and that one could be followed by an Arctic blast into the Mid-Atlantic region.

Intensely cold air is headed this way for the weekend and temperatures are likely to bottom out well below zero for overnight lows by early tomorrow and early Sunday. To add to the winter misery, winds will be strong and wind chill values will remain at dangerously low levels all weekend long. In addition, snow showers will be possible at just about anytime from tonight into the late weekend and this will act to reduce visibility given the windy conditions. Moderation in temperatures will take place by the middle of next week, but additional Arctic air outbreaks are likely to impact the region down the road.
