Discussion
High pressure to our north continues to have an influence on the weather in the Mid-Atlantic region as we begin the new work week with cold and dry conditions. Temperatures are starting the day in the upper 20's in many locations and dew points are generally in the single digits - indicating this is an extremely dry air mass. Weakening low pressure to our west is push towards the Mid-Atlantic region and it should hold together enough to produce a light wintry mix here from late tonight into late Tuesday. High pressure will take control again at mid-week we’ll have a bit of a warm up compared to the chill of today and tomorrow. A stronger low pressure system will likely impact the region from Thursday into Friday with rain that can change to snow on Friday.
