Discussion

Snow will wind down early today as an initial system pushes away from the Mid-Atlantic and another system will head in this direction for tonight and early Friday. This next system will have little impact in areas to the north of the PA/MD border as it’ll be suppressed to the south, but it can produce a little additional snowfall in the DC metro region. A stronger system set to arrive this weekend will have more moisture to deal with than these first two and it could result in more significant ice and/or snow in the Mid-Atlantic region. And yes, there may be two other storms to deal with in the Mid-Atlantic region next week with significant snow and/or ice on the table for either or both of these systems.
