Discussion
High pressure stays in control of the weather for another day before the weather turns quite unsettled in the Mid-Atlantic region. Low pressure will impact the region with rainfall later tonight and Saturday…the rain can freeze on some surfaces in the wee hours of the morning across a few of the far northern and western suburbs. Another and even stronger low pressure system arrives on Sunday along with breezy and milder conditions and this one will bring more rain to the area, some of it can be heavy at times, and there can be a thunderstorm mixed into the picture. Yet another system is likely to bring more rain to the region by Tuesday, New Year’s Eve.
