Discussion              

An active weather pattern will bring us multiple storm systems to deal with into the middle of next week.  One system will push out of the Midwest on Saturday and head to the Mid-Atlantic with precipitation from Sunday into early Monday. As this system drops south and east to the coastline late in the weekend, it can draw enough cold air for a combination of snow and rain; especially, across interior, higher elevation locations of the Mid-Atlantic. Another system can spawn a severe weather outbreak around next Tuesday in the Lower Mississippi Valley, and then its precipitation field will likely reach the Mid-Atlantic at the middle of next week. It may be cold enough for some frozen precipitation to be mixed in with that system as well.
