Discussion
A very cold start to the new week with Arctic high pressure still in control across the Mid-Atlantic region. This high departs early tonight and a weak low pressure system to our northwest can produce a band of ice and/or snow here early Tuesday morning with a coating of snow possible and a glaze of ice…watch for slippery spots as road conditions are quite cold. Some sunshine will return for Tuesday afternoon and also Wednesday, Christmas Day, and it stays moderately cold for this time of year.
