The weather on Oahu, Hawaii in the early morning hours of Sunday, December 7th, 1941 was not at all unusual for the time of year with mild temperatures and mainly clear skies. Unfortunately, the weather conditions on that particular day would play a role in the bombing of the U.S. naval base by Japanese fighter planes at Pearl Harbor near Honolulu, Hawaii. As Japanese fighters crossed the Pacific Ocean, they were given hope that their mission would succeed when the announcement was made of “clouds mostly over the mounts…visibility good”. It is believed that the decision to attack on that particular day had plenty to do with the projected favorable weather conditions.

Low pressure is pushing to the northeast today from the southeastern states and its moisture field is moving into some very cold and dry Arctic air across the Mid-Atlantic region. The result is that snow has broken out across the southern Mid-Atlantic region and accumulations are likely in the region from DC/Virginia to the Delmarva Peninsula to southern New Jersey. In fact, the DC metro region can see as much as 2 or 3 inches of snow and as much as 4 or 5 inches can accumulate in sections of central and southern Virginia. The Philly and NYC metro regions will be on the northern fringe of this system with light snow a possibility and perhaps a coating in some areas.

Low pressure is pushing to the northeast today and its moisture field is moving into some very cold and dry Arctic air across the Mid-Atlantic region. The result is that snow has broken out across the southern Mid-Atlantic region and accumulations of as much as 2 or 3 inches are possible today in parts of the DC metro region. The steadiest snow should wind down by mid-day and then snow showers are possible in the afternoon and there can be a bit of freezing drizzle. In areas just to the south of us, as much as 4 or 5 inches can accumulate today across central and southern Virginia. Following today’s system, the bulk of the weekend should turn out to be mainly dry and moderately cold with some sunshine likely on both days. By Sunday night, another strong cold front and its associated “clipper” low pressure system can bring some rain and/or snow shower activity to the metro region.

An Arctic blast that resulted in numerous record low temperatures this morning across the Upper Midwest/Great Lakes is on its way to the Mid-Atlantic region, and it will set the stage for an accumulating snow event on Friday in the southern half of the area from DC/Virginia to the Delmarva Peninsula to the southern part of New Jersey. Temperatures in the overnight hours will drop into the teens in many of the suburbs along the I-95 corridor following the passage of an Arctic cold frontal system later today. Moisture on Friday will spread to the northeast from the Tennessee Valley and run into this very cold and dry Arctic air mass and snow will break out early in the day across much of Virginia and the DC metro region...in other words, both the AM and PM commutes can be slippery in these areas on Friday.

An Arctic cold front will approach the region later today and winds will be on the increase as a result and there can be an isolated rain or snow shower as well. The coldest air so far this season pushes into the area later tonight and overnight lows are liable to be near 20 degrees across many suburban locations. Low pressure will push northeastward from the southeastern states on Friday and it should throw accumulating snow our way beginning early in the day…a coating to as much as 2 or 3 inches in some spots; especially, just to the south of the metro area.
