Discussion
A fast-moving (“clipper”) low pressure system will cross the Mid-Atlantic region today and generate snow showers in the DC, Philly, NYC corridor. There is even the chance for a heavier burst of snow which could produce a quick grassy accumulation in some spots. Once this system passes off the east coast late today, it'll turn windy once again and very cold air for this time of year will flood into the Mid-Atlantic and stick around right through the weekend. In fact, many areas in the DC metro region will experience low temperatures near the 20 degree mark over the weekend.
