The low pressure system that brought significant snow to the region on Monday is now well offshore and a reinforcing Arctic air mass has followed in its wake riding in on strong NW winds. Temperatures will do no better today for afternoon highs than around the 30 degree mark and strong winds of up to 40 mph will produce wind chill values in the single digits. High pressure dominates for the next few days providing us with some sunshine on a daily basis to go along with the below-normal temperatures and then we’ll have to monitor a southern storm system by the weekend to see if it can impact the area with some snowfall.

Some lingering snow this morning that can produce another 1-2 inches of accumulation and then skies should gradually clear later in the day. Under mainly clear skies tonight, temperatures will fall to some of the lowest levels so far this season bottoming out in the upper single digits in many spots. It stays quite cold across the region through the middle part of the week and then turns slightly milder late in the week.

Low pressure that has produced accumulating snow today in much of the Mid-Atlantic region will shift to the western Atlantic Ocean during the next hour or so; however, it is not necessarily through with our area just yet. Snow is developing in the northwest sector of this eastward-moving storm system and this “backend” snow will impact the region from DC-to-the-Delmarva-to-southern NJ late today and early tonight and likely up across southern PA as well. In fact, there can be additional snow accumulations in some areas of up to a couple of inches before the precipitation shield finally fully departs the Mid-Atlantic region. On the backside of the storm late tonight and Tuesday, stiff NW winds will develop and can gust past 40 mph or so making it feel even colder than the actual air temperatures.
Looking ahead, this cold and active weather pattern threatens to produce another storm system late this week and weekend. This time, the location of the storm development will be way down south likely over the northwestern Gulf of Mexico by week’s end. As such, there can be an impact in the Deep South and this can even include significant accumulating snow and ice across places like Texas and Arkansas. After that, the low pressure system likely heads towards the eastern seaboard and the timing of its intensification along the coast will be critical in determining how much impact there can be in the Mid-Atlantic region and Northeast US. A quick intensification along the Mid-Atlantic coastline could mean significant accumulating snow in the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor or the system may “wait” until it pushes farther to the north and east to intensify which would likely limit any big impact to eastern New England.

The week ahead will be quite cold across the southeastern states and there can be some snow shower activity in the area today to go along with the below-normal temperatures. By late in the week, low pressure will likely try to form over the Gulf of Mexico and it can spread some rain and/or snow into the region later Friday or Saturday.

The work week will start off on the chilly side and there will be accumulating snow from late today into early tomorrow that can reach the 2-5 inch range. Some of the lowest temperatures so far this season will take place later tomorrow night with overnight lows way down in the upper single digits across the Denver metro region.

A major winter storm system will move eastward today and produce snow in the DC-to-Philly corridor; however, there will be minimal impact in the NYC metro region with a coating to an inch possible. Dry, cold air is entrenched across the Northeast US anchored by strong high pressure to the northwest and this will inhibit the precipitation shield of this storm system from advancing this far to the northeast. Arctic cold will follow the departing low pressure system for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday as our cold, active weather pattern continues in the Mid-Atlantic region. Later in the week, low pressure is likely to develop over the Gulf of Mexico and it can move northeast from there and have an impact on the region this weekend.

A major winter storm system will move eastward today and produce significant accumulating snow in the area that is likely to fall at its heaviest during the morning hours. In fact, there can be a lull in the precipitation during the afternoon and sleet can mix in at times; especially, to the south and west of the metro region. Snow or a mix of snow and sleet that changes back to all snow likely re-intensifies during the late afternoon or early evening hours on the backend of the storm system with additional accumulations possible. Total accumulations of 5-10 inches are on the table with isolated higher amounts possible of up to 12 inches or so…the biggest snow event in several years for the DC metro region. Arctic cold will follow for the next few days as our cold, active weather pattern continues in the Mid-Atlantic region. Later in the week, low pressure is likely to develop over the Gulf of Mexico and it can move northeast from there and have an impact in the region this weekend.

A winter storm system will move eastward today and produce accumulating snow in the area with the heaviest likely to fall during the morning hours. In fact, there can be a lull in the precipitation this afternoon and then the return of some snow or snow showers by late afternoon or early evening on the backend of the storm system. Total accumulations are likely to fall in the 2-4 inch range with the higher amounts generally to the south of the metro region and lowest amounts to the north. Arctic cold will follow for the next few days as our cold, active weather pattern continues in the Mid-Atlantic region. Later in the week, low pressure is likely to develop over the Gulf of Mexico and it can move northeast from there and have an impact in the region this weekend.
