An Arctic air mass has pushed into the Mid-Atlantic region on the heels of a strong cold frontal passage and temperatures have very likely already reached their highs for the day. The winds will be quite strong through the day from a west-to-northwest direction making it feel even colder than the actual ambient temperatures. It stays much colder-than-normal on Friday and then an upper-level disturbance will head in this direction on Friday night and Saturday potentially resulting in some snow and/or rain to the metro region. Another system will then try to slide up along the east coast on Sunday and it can bring some snow or snow shower activity to the area during the second half of the weekend. More Arctic air is on tap for the Mid-Atlantic during the early part of next week.

An Arctic air mass has pushed into the Mid-Atlantic region on the heels of a strong cold frontal passage and temperatures will drop to the 20’s from their early day highs in the 30’s. There can be another snow shower or two during the morning hours and perhaps some graupel (snow pellets) mixed in at times. The winds will be quite strong through the day from a west-to-northwest direction making it feel even colder than the actual ambient temperatures. It stays much colder-than-normal on Friday and then an upper-level disturbance will head in this direction on Friday night and Saturday potentially resulting in some snow or snow shower activity around here. Another system will try to slide up along the east coast on Sunday and it too can bring some snow or snow shower activity to the area during the second half of the weekend. More Arctic air is on tap for the Mid-Atlantic during the early part of next week.

The next couple of weeks are likely to feature multiple Arctic air outbreaks across the eastern half of the nation and even the state of Florida will be impacted (watch out iguanas). This kind of evolving pattern that features a major disruption of the polar vortex can certainly include some extreme cold during what is statistically speaking the coldest time of the year later in the month. This cold weather pattern will be quite active as well with multiple snow threats along the way for the Great Lakes, Midwest, Mid-Atlantic and Northeast US...and perhaps some snow this weekend in unusual places like the Southeast US.

It’ll be relatively mild for another day on the front side of a cold front with afternoon temperatures likely climbing to the 50-degree mark. As the cold front approaches, low pressure will form along its boundary zone and there will be some rain from later today into the overnight hours. As the colder air rushes in later tonight, the rain can mix with or change to snow for a brief time during the wee hours of Thursday morning. Watch out for slick spots late tonight/early Thursday given the combination of a brief period of snow and the rapidly falling temperatures. Temperatures on Thursday will struggle to climb above freezing and the teens are likely for overnight lows going into early Friday morning.
