Running for his third presidential term, Franklin Roosevelt made a 1940 campaign promise to allow for the training of African American military pilots. In cooperation with the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama which was founded by Booker T. Washington in 1881, the Army created a program in 1941 to induct and train what would eventually amount to more than 14,000 airmen, of whom about 1,000 would become pilots; the others became navigators, bombardiers, radio operators, administrators, support personnel - and some became weathermen.

After yesterday’s combination of rain and snow, high pressure returns to the region for today and it’ll be cold and breezy with highs confined to the mid-to-upper 30’s. A clipper low pressure system and its associated cold front will cross the Mid-Atlantic region tomorrow night possibly generating a rain or snow shower here and then high pressure and slightly colder air returns for the end of the work week. Low pressure will ride along that frontal boundary by the early part of the weekend and there can be some accumulating snow here from Friday night into Saturday morning and the rest of the weekend to follow will be quite cold and breezy.

A dynamic storm system is impacting the Mid-Atlantic region this morning with an infusion of cold air from the northwest causing a transition to sleet and/or snow in many areas from the overnight rainfall. It is possible that a burst of heavier snow and/or sleet takes place during the next couple of hours which can quickly have an impact on roadway conditions. The afternoon should turn out dry, but the winds will remain a factor gusting up to 40 mph or so. Accumulation amounts of a trace in areas just to the south and east of DC metro to as much as 2-3 inches in some of the far northern and western suburbs are on the table before the precipitation winds down by late morning. High pressure takes over at mid-week with moderately cold conditions expected.
