Discussion
Weak low pressure is pushing into the Mid-Atlantic region and it could produce a light wintry mix from later today into tonight - not at all a significant precipitation event. High pressure will take control again at mid-week we’ll have a bit of a warm up compared to the chill of yesterday and today. A stronger low pressure system will impact the region from Thursday into Friday - much more of a significant precipitation event - with rain on Thursday and Thursday night that can change briefly to snow on Friday. This late week event will be the first decent precipitation we've had in the region during the month of March.
