The first half of the week will feature dry weather in the Mid-Atlantic region with high pressure in control, but major changes are coming for the late week and weekend. A significant upper-level trough will evolve over the eastern states by week’s end and it may feature an initial surface low that tracks over the Ohio Valley and then a secondary near the northern Mid-Atlantic coastline. An increasingly colder air mass will mix into this system and snow is likely to form in some of the interior higher elevation locations of the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast US by the weekend and it is not out of the question that a few flakes fall around here.

Low pressure is pushing northward this morning along a frontal boundary zone that parallels the east coast and more rain is falling across the eastern Mid-Atlantic…and it is a real soaking rain event in much of New Jersey. It turns quite breezy and cooler this weekend on the heels of the frontal passage and an isolated shower or two cannot be completely ruled out.
Looking ahead, the first half of next week looks to be mainly dry and mild and then a much colder air mass could push in for the late week. In fact, there could be a storm system to deal in the northeastern states that may actually produce snow in some of the interior higher elevation locations.

Low pressure is pushing northward this morning along a frontal boundary zone that parallels the east coast and more rain is falling across the eastern Mid-Atlantic…and it is a real soaking rain event across the Delmarva Peninsula. It turns quite breezy and cooler this weekend on the heels of the frontal passage and an isolated shower or two cannot be completely ruled out.

The rest of the week and weekend should feature dry conditions and moderate temperatures with afternoon highs generally in the upper 50’s and overnight lows in the 30’s. Milder weather returns for the early part of next week with temperatures likely peaking each day in the low-to-middle 60’s.

A slow-moving cold front will inch its way towards the coast during the next 24 hours or so bringing an end to the dry spell in the Mid-Atlantic region. There will be occasional showers today and then more beneficial rain is possible tonight and Friday as low pressure forms along the stalling-out frontal boundary zone. In fact, there can be a narrow corridor of heavy rainfall late tonight and early Friday in areas just to the south and east of the I-95 corridor including, for example, the Delmarva Peninsula. The weather for the weekend should turn out to be pretty decent although somewhat unsettled at times with breezy conditions and a shower or two cannot be completely ruled out.

There will be occasional showers today and then more beneficial rain is likely tonight and Friday as low pressure forms along the stalling-out frontal boundary zone. In fact, there can be a narrow corridor of heavy rainfall late tonight and Friday in areas near the coast such as across New Jersey and in the NYC metro area.

After an active weather day on Wednesday, it’ll settled down today with increasing amounts of sunshine and moderate temperatures peaking this afternoon near the 70-degree mark. Under mainly clear skies tonight, it’ll turn chilly and late night patchy fog is likely to form in some of the low-lying spots across northern Alabama.

An unusually early polar vortex disruption is now underway in the Northern Hemisphere, and it could have winter-like implications on the weather across portions of the continental US later this month and during the month of December. In a typical strong El Nino winter season, mild Pacific Ocean air can overwhelm the nation, but this rare early season polar vortex disruption throws a monkey wrench into the whole concept of a “normal” El Nino winter season. An analysis of upper-level data records going as far back as the 1950’s show just how rare this polar vortex disruption is with the closest analog coming in late November of 1968...some three weeks later than the current rare early season event. One final note, most computer forecast models are not currently showing much in the way of cold air outbreaks into the central and eastern during the second half of this month; however, I would expect them to trend colder very soon as they start “picking up” on this rare early season polar vortex disruption.
