Discussion

Moisture has pushed into the region from a combination of low pressure systems over the Ohio Valley and off the Mid-Atlantic coastline. Light snow, sleet and/or freezing rain is likely today and tonight and there can be some slick spots on untreated road surfaces. The moisture field will shift away to the northeast of here on Wednesday and then low pressure will intensify near the Carolina coastline by Thursday. The precipitation shield with the Carolina storm is likely to have little impact in the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor, but it is still a close call and will be monitored. Yet another storm will cross the country this weekend and it could threaten the Mid-Atlantic region with snow in the Sunday/Monday time frame.
