Discussion

A very active weather pattern will continue for much of the eastern half of the nation during the next ten days or so and there will be multiple chances of accumulating snow and/or ice in the Mid-Atlantic region. A relatively weak system passing by to our north today can cause occasional snow into mid-afternoon with 1-3 inches of accumulation on the table. A stronger system is likely to impact the region in two waves during the second half of the week with one concentrating on the period from later Wednesday into early Thursday and then a second from later Thursday into Friday. Accumulations of snow are certainly on the table during this long-duration second half of the week event – and this won’t be the end of the wintry precipitation threats. Yet another system could generate snow and/or ice in the Mid-Atlantic region later in the upcoming weekend and potentially more activity could come next week.
