Low pressure to our north will produce occasional rain in the area during the morning hours and there can be some clearing skies by the end of the day. After partly cloudy skies tonight, the mid-week looks to be dry and chilly in the DC metro region and then there can be a touch of rain on Thursday, Christmas Day, from another “clipper” system that moves from northwest-to-southeast. A more impactful low pressure is likely here at the end of the week with ice on the table as strong high pressure positioned to our north acts as a source of cold air for the northeastern states.

It stays quite mild around here right through the week with temperatures soaring to well above normal levels of late December. In fact, Christmas Day (Thursday) is likely to feature afternoon temperatures peaking in the low-to-mid 70’s and there will likely be plenty of sunshine to go along with the unusual warmth.

Low pressure to our north will produce accumulating snow in the area early today and then a mixed bag of precipitation is likely before it all winds down around mid-day…watch for slick spots through the morning, accumulations of a coating to an inch or so. After clearing skies tonight, the mid-week looks to be dry and chilly in the Philly metro region and then there can be a touch of light precipitation on Thursday, Christmas Day, from another “clipper” system that moves from northwest-to-southeast. A more impactful low pressure is likely here at the end of the week with significant ice or accumulating snow on the table as strong high pressure positioned to our north acts as a source of cold air for the northeastern states.

It does turn colder by the weekend, but temperatures will still be in the moderate zone with highs on Saturday and Sunday near the 50-degree mark.

While the nation’s mid-section enjoys rarely ever-seen sustained warmth for Christmas week, the northeastern states will experience plenty of winter weather during the next 7 days or so. One system will bring some snow and ice to the northern Mid-Atlantic region and Northeast US from late tonight into Tuesday and though not a significant event, there can be some slippery spots tomorrow even in the big cities along the I-95 corridor from Philly-to-Boston. Another storm could threaten the Mid-Atlantic region and Northeast US with accumulating snow and significant ice at the end of the week with strong high pressure positioned over eastern Canada anchoring an Arctic air mass. By the end of the upcoming weekend, another low pressure will slide to the Great Lakes, and its training cold front will head to the east coast. This combination can produce rain, ice and snow across the northeastern states late in the weekend and it’ll be followed by another Arctic air outbreak for the first part of next week.

A cold front passed through the region late Sunday and the new work week will start off on the cold side with sun giving way to increasing clouds. A “clipper” low pressure system over the Great Lakes will bring thickening clouds to the area by this evening and snow is likely late at night as its moisture field moves in from northwest-to-southeast. On Tuesday, temperatures will climb above freezing and the precipitation will become a mixed bag of rain, sleet and snow before an ultimate changeover to rain. Watch out for some slippery spots during the AM commute on Tuesday and a coating to an inch of snow is possible before any changeover takes place.

A strong cold front will barrel through the region later this morning bringing with it additional heavy rain and maybe even a gusty thunderstorm. Winds will shift from a southwesterly direction this morning to northwesterly for the mid-day and afternoon hours and can gust to 50 mph or so as colder air pushes into the Mid-Atlantic region. Temperatures will drop into the 30’s during the day from the very mild levels in the 50’s reached this morning ahead of the frontal passage. Snow showers are now developing across some of the higher elevation interior locations of the Mid-Atlantic region and a few of these may make their way into the immediate I-95 corridor. The weather will settle down for the weekend with dry conditions expected on both days and a moderate chill in the air.
