After a warm day to start the week, colder air will begin to push into the region later today following the passage of a cold frontal system. The transition to much colder will come with rain showers later today/early tonight and then with the cold air becoming better established, the rain can change to snow late tonight and continue at times on Wednesday. Temperatures will hold in the 40’s on Wednesday and then get somewhat closer to normal on Thursday (Halloween Day) and Friday and there should be some sunshine for each day.

The new week starts off quite warm with well above normal temperatures and afternoon highs in the middle 70’s. A brief, but rather dramatic pattern change takes place with a frontal passage later Tuesday that will usher in cold air for the mid-week. Rain showers may initially accompany the transition to the mid-week cold and then, as cold air gets better established, the rain can change to snow in the higher elevation and the plains. Dry conditions and more seasonal temperatures should rule the day on Halloween (Thursday) with highs back to near 60 degrees.

Last winter was generally warmer-than-normal in the Mid-Atlantic region with below-normal snowfall and 2024 began with a rather strong El Nino event in the tropical Pacific Ocean. However, those warmer-than-normal water temperatures have since flipped to below-normal and this upcoming winter season is quite likely to feature weak La Nina (colder-than-normal) conditions. Typically, La Nina winters feature a more active polar jet stream that helps to transport cold air masses from northwestern Canada into the Northern Plains while, at the same time, much of the southern US often experiences warmer and drier conditions. La Nina winters are somewhat random in the Mid-Atlantic region with respect to temperatures and precipitation with some years featuring more snow than normal and others less.
