After a bit of slipping and sliding on the sidewalks this weekend, high temperatures in the lower 40s (around 10 degrees shy of average) have finally melted most of the slick spots on the secondary roads and walkways.

Outlook:
Tonight, don't be surprised if you see a few snow flurries here and there, especially across northern MD as temperatures dip into the upper teens and lower 20s.

Enjoy the "mild" 40 degree weather tomorrow, because a large Canadian high pressure cell will begin to migrate eastward into the Mid Atlantic on Tuesday. High temperatures will tumble into the low to mid 30s both Tuesday and Wednesday, before moderating slightly by the end of the week.

By midday Thursday, clouds should once again thicken up in response to developing low pressure systems in the upper Midwest, and Gulf Coast. These two disturbances may bring us yet another chance for some wintry precip to close out the week (more below).

Snowstorm picture:
We weren't the only ones to receive some snow fall from last weeks storm. Sebago, Maine received a healthy dose of the white stuff (pictured at right).

And a little farther to the west, in Concord, NH, nearly 16 inches of snow fell between Friday and Saturday afternoon--what a wonderful snowstorm that would have been in the DC metro region...

When: December 15th-16th
Impact:
Confidence: Low/Med
Commentary: Models continue to advertise the potential for a small snow/freezing rain event Thursday PM into Friday. Surface temperatures Thursday night will be cold enough to support snow, but only for a few hours or less. Warmer surface temperatures should invade the region by early Friday morning, changing any precip south of the Mason-Dixon line to rain. Granted, there is some uncertainty surrounding this forecast, but at this point, I feel relatively confident this next event will only pose some "nuisance" issues to the Washington, DC metro region.
