Discussion

There has been a bit of a lull this week in the recent active weather pattern, but that is now changing and there are three different systems to watch between today and early next week. The first system is now producing some nuisance snow in the region and a coating to an inch or so of accumulation is possible. The ground is quite cold due to persistent cold since November and there can be a few slippery spots as a result. A second and stronger system will generate a soaking rain event in the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor from late tomorrow into Saturday morning and the rain can linger in late Saturday and even into Sunday as it’ll be a slow mover. On the heels of the weekend storm, another cold shot will arrive on Monday and it will be supported by vigorous energy in the upper atmosphere which could result in strong winds in the Northeast US and scattered snow showers.
