Discussion
The week will end on a cold note as a secondary surge of cold air arrives with morning snow showers and then weak low pressure should pass by just to our south on Saturday bringing us the chance for a rain and/or snow shower. High pressure builds back into the region on Sunday and it should be a precipitation-free day. Low pressure in the middle of the country early next week will trek towards the Ohio Valley and it ultimately is likely to reform near the Mid-Atlantic coastline and become a slow-moving coastal storm. As a result, there is the threat for significant rain, ice and/or snow in the extended period from late Monday night into perhaps early Thursday.
