Discussion
An active weather pattern will result in three different systems to monitor over the next several days for possible impact in the Mid-Atlantic region. Today will be a quiet and milder day and then temperatures will climb to near 60 degrees on Friday ahead of a strong cold frontal system and there can be a few showers to end the work week. Colder air moves in behind the front for the weekend and low pressure is likely to head towards the Carolinas on Saturday. The precipitation shield for this system is likely to extend as far north as the DC metro region early Saturday, but that is still a close call. A second system is likely to bring a wintry mix to the region on Sunday night/early Monday and then a third system could do the same on Tuesday night and/or Wednesday.
