Discussion

Quite an active few days is in store for the Mid-Atlantic region and it is within the realm of possibility that the DC metro region transitions from highs in the 60's on Wednesday to accumulating snow by early Thursday. Temperatures will take quite a swing over the next few days with a big upswing later tomorrow and Wednesday and then a sharp drop off on Thursday. A warm front will generate some rain late tonight and Tuesday and then a cold front will produce showers and windy conditions on Wednesday. Winds will remain pretty strong on Wednesday night and Thursday as colder air floods into the region from our northwest. In addition to the change back to cold, it is likely that a storm forms along the frontal boundary zone and heads towards the Mid-Atlantic coastal waters late Wednesday night and early Thursday morning and this could result in some accumulating snow for the I-95 corridor region; especially, to the N and W of the big cities.
