The month of January has been a dry one in the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor, but it will end on a wet note with rainfall today; primarily, focused on the PM hours. Moderately cold conditions will follow for the weekend likely with clouds giving way to sun on Saturday and sun giving way to clouds on Sunday. There can be some snow in the area on Sunday night from a low pressure system passing by to our north. A warm front should lift northward across the area by early Monday paving the way for milder conditions to start the new work week and then a cold front arrives by early Tuesday of next week.

February can feature quite active weather across the nation with increasingly warm and humid air down across the southern states and some very cold Arctic air remaining up to the north. In fact, this kind of clash in the atmosphere appears to be setting up for next week which may lead to a storm system that features a wide range of precipitation types at mid-week from rain/thunderstorms in its warm sector to snow and ice in the cold sector. Eventually, it appears the cold air will “win” this battle and overspread the eastern half of the nation in about ten days or so. By the way, Sunday is Groundhog Day and - if I were Phil - I might be apt to see my shadow as it looks like there is plenty of cold air left in the tank for 6 more weeks of winter. Meanwhile, in the short-term, the month of January will end on a wet note in the Mid-Atlantic region with primarily a rain event from late tonight through Friday; however, accumulating snow is likely from interior New York State to New England where at least a few inches are on the table.

It stays mild today with afternoon high temperatures likely near the 60-degree mark as a frontal system brings some shower activity to the region. It stays quite mild on Friday with a lingering shower possible and the weekend is setting up nicely with mild and dry conditions likely across northern Alabama.

There is the chance for a bit of rain and/or snow this morning, but partial sunshine should return for the afternoon hours. It turns milder on Friday with temperatures likely climbing to well up in the 50’s and stays quite mild right through the upcoming weekend. High temperatures on both Saturday and Sunday should be near the 60-degree mark with some sunshine expected each day.

It’ll be colder today in the NYC metro region on the back side of a frontal passage and sun will give way to late day clouds as low pressure organizes over the Upper Midwest. A warm front will extend well to the east of the low pressure system and it’ll push in our direction later tonight spreading rain into the area that will last through much of the day on Friday. Rain has been a rare commodity in the Mid-Atlantic region during the month of January which has been much drier-than-normal in the local area with a deficit of 2.84 inches. At the onset of the rainfall late tonight, it may be just cold enough for the rain to freeze on some surfaces; especially, across the far northern and western suburbs. Temperatures during the day on Friday will climb to well above freezing levels (into the lower 40’s) assuring “plain” rain as we close out the work week, and then it turns moderately cold again to begin the weekend.

NASA’s satellite-based MERRA-2 climate model is forecasting temperatures to drop to their lowest levels since before 1978 in the polar stratosphere and this might just result in a major outbreak of rarely seen colorful polar stratospheric clouds. Normally, the stratosphere has no clouds at all; however, when the temperature drops to around -85 C (188 K) or below, water molecules can coalesce into ice crystals and form polar stratospheric clouds – even in the very dry part of the upper atmosphere.
