The first half of the new work week will be relatively quiet and mild, but the weather turns quite active later this week as a deepening upper-level trough dives into the Mid-Atlantic region. This strong upper-level trough will become a slow-mover thanks to strong blocking high pressure to the north over northeastern Canada. At the surface, an initial low pressure system will head towards the Great Lakes in the late week time period and then a secondary low should form near the northern Mid-Atlantic coastline.
The end result of this unfolding scenario should be occasional rain here from later Wednesday into Thursday morning and there is a slight chance of a thunderstorm. Scattered rain showers are then likely from Thursday afternoon through the day on Friday as the atmosphere will remain quite unstable and it is not out of the question that a few flakes or ice pellets mix in at times. In terms of temperatures, after a mild day on Wednesday ahead of the cold front, it turns noticeably colder on Thursday and it’ll remain cold on Friday with highs limited to the middle 40’s to close out the work week. The winds will become quite strong on the backside of this low pressure system from a northwesterly direction and should last all the from later Thursday through much of the upcoming weekend given the storm’s slow movement. One final note, skiers in the northeastern states may be happy after this late week event as early season accumulating snow is quite likely from upstate PA to upstate NY to interior New England.

Today will feature high temperatures well up in the 50’s with high pressure in control, but it turns colder on Tuesday and there will be a chance for some snow. A low pressure system is likely to rotate around the base of a longwave upper-level trough on Tuesday as it tracks from Utah to eastern Colorado. As a result, some snow will first form over the higher elevations to the west of here and then snow showers can make their way into the metro region as it turns much cooler following the mild conditions of today.

The first half of the new work week will be relatively quiet and mild in the Mid-Atlantic, but the weather turns quite active later this week as a deepening upper-level trough slides into the eastern states. This strong upper-level trough will become a slow-mover thanks to intense blocking high pressure to the north over northeastern Canada. At the surface, an initial low pressure system will head towards the Great Lakes in the late week time period and then a secondary low should form near the northern Mid-Atlantic coastline. The end result of this unfolding scenario will be rain and possible thunderstorms in the Mid-Atlantic region from late Wednesday into early Thursday and then windy, colder conditions to follow for the next few days. Accumulating snow is likely during this event across interior, higher elevation locations of the Mid-Atlantic region from update PA to upstate NY, and interior New England can get hit hard as well by the end of the week.

Low pressure moves off the Carolina coastline this morning and there will be gradual clearing across our region with an increase in winds from the northwest. High pressure ridging will edge into the area for the weekend leading to dry, cool conditions and winds will remain quite noticeable on Saturday as the pressure gradient remains strong between the departing low and incoming high. Temperatures today will likely peak in the middle 50’s for afternoon highs and then climb to near the 60 degree mark on both weekend days.
