An active weather pattern brought a clipper system to the north of the Mid-Atlantic region today with a bit of snow in some areas just in time for the morning commute. Another low-pressure system will take the southern route on Thursday, and some snow and/or rain will be possible in the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor. Another low-pressure system (or two) can impact the Mid-Atlantic region during the early and middle parts of next week and with strong, cold high pressure stationed to the north, frozen precipitation is favored with accumulating snow on the table in some areas.
Looking beyond the early-to-mid week winter weather threats, a noticeable warmup is likely to take place in the Mid-Atlantic region by the end of next week and the warmup can very well last through the second week of March. In fact, temperatures could climb into the 60’s by late next week in portions of the southern Mid-Atlantic region (e.g., Washington, D.C.) and the 50’s are possible in the northern Mid-Atlantic (e.g., Philly, NYC) and it could turn even milder than that during the second week of March. This potential warmup may not be the end of the colder-than-normal weather; however, as there are strong signs for another significant stratospheric warming event to take place by late next week. This potential polar vortex split can bring a return of colder-than-normal weather conditions to the eastern states from around the middle of March to the middle of April.

A clipper system is passing by to our north and it is producing a bit of snow and some small accumulations in the area…it turns slightly milder this afternoon with highs near 40 degrees. Another low pressure system will push to our south on Thursday and it can generate some snow here, but we’ll be on the its northern fringes. Dry weather is likely to follow for Friday and Saturday, but more low pressure systems can impact the region early-to-mid next week as this active pattern continues.

An unsettled weather pattern continues this week with a couple of systems to deal with in the Mid-Atlantic region during the next few days. A clipper system will drop south and east across the Great Lakes region and it can produce some snow or a mix of snow and rain around here late tonight with little or no accumulation expected. Yet another system will take a different track on Thursday and move in this direction from the Tennessee Valley and it can produce some rain from later Thursday into Thursday night and its not out of the question that some ice and/or snow can be mixed into the picture.

An unsettled weather pattern continues this week with a couple of systems to deal with in the Mid-Atlantic region during the next few days. A clipper system will drop south and east across the Great Lakes region and it can produce some snow around here late tonight into early Wednesday. While accumulations should be on the small side, the timing is not great as it can interfere with the early morning commute. Yet another system will take a different track on Thursday and move in this direction from the Tennessee Valley and it can produce some snow, ice and/or rain from later Thursday into Thursday night.

Running for his third presidential term, Franklin Roosevelt made a 1940 campaign promise to allow for the training of African American military pilots. In cooperation with the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama which was founded by Booker T. Washington in 1881, the Army created a program in 1941 to induct and train what would eventually amount to more than 14,000 airmen, of whom about 1,000 would become pilots; the others became navigators, bombardiers, radio operators, administrators, support personnel - and some became weathermen.

Intense low pressure will only slowly pull away from the Mid-Atlantic region on Monday leading to more snow around here, heavy at times, and additional accumulations of several inches are on the table. Winds will remain strong today as well with gusts possible to 50 mph or so. Temperatures will be well below normal for the next few days as a much colder-than-normal air mass will flood the eastern states on the heels of the storm. The patten remains active the chance of snow late Tuesday night/early Wednesday with a clipper system passing by to our north.
