After some light rain or drizzle this morning, it’ll turn windy this afternoon with gusts to 30 mph and milder with afternoon highs near 50 degrees. The work week will end with sunshine on Friday, but it will be cold and windy with afternoon high temperatures confined to the middle 30’s and lower wind chills. A long-lasting storm system will impact the region this weekend with snow and/or ice likely at the onset from mid-day to mid-afternoon on Saturday and then rain is likely from Saturday night into Sunday. There can be some snow accumulations on Saturday before the snow mixes with and changes over to rain/sleet. A strong cold front pushes through later Sunday and its passage will usher in a very cold air mass for the first half of next week. Looking ahead, there are signs of an east coast storm threat by the middle or latter part of next week...something we’ll closely monitor in coming days.

After a bitter cold start to the day, temperatures will moderate some this afternoon and likely reach the middle-to-upper 30’s for highs. It’ll turn even milder on Friday with temperatures climbing to the 50’s before turning colder again this weekend and snow chances will rise once again.

One low pressure system is pulling away this morning and another one is following right on its heels and will end up over the eastern Great Lakes by early Thursday. There will be some snow shower activity in the Mid-Atlantic region during the next several hours and then (light) mixed precipitation late today/early tonight should change to plain rain by late tonight/early tomorrow. Another storm system will hit the Mid-Atlantic region during the weekend and it’ll have an impact on both Saturday and Saturday. At the front end, there can be a burst of snow and/or sleet later Saturday morning or mid-day...perhaps even some accumulations north of the PA/MD border...and then rain is likely on Saturday night and Sunday. In fact, some of the rain can be heavy at times which would raise some flooding concerns given the combination of the rain with melting snow. A strong cold front pushes through the Mid-Atlantic later Sunday ushering in much colder-than-normal air mass for the first half of next week. By the middle of next week, we’ll have to watch for the possibility of an east coast storm system that would have plenty of cold air to work with in the Mid-Atlantic region.

One low pressure system is departing off to our east this morning and another is headed towards the Ohio Valley and eastern Great Lakes. Given the track of this next storm to our northwest, warmer air should push northward along the east coast by later tonight and Thursday. In the meantime, there can be some snow shower activity today…perhaps even some “snizzle”…a word I have coined for “snow drizzle”. Snow or a mix of snow and sleet this evening should change to rain later tonight and there can be some freezing still; on untreated surfaces. High pressure builds in for Friday and then a double-barreled strong storm system will impact us from Saturday into Sunday. There can be a burst of snow on Saturday morning with some accumulations possible and then rain or a mix of rain and snow is likely during the PM hours.
