It seems that NWS D.C.

it not real certain what is coming next week onwards. The 850 temps are dropping to -8 to -12, but it seems there is much uncertainty as to sw activity moving up the trough axis. It seems like they want to say snow possible on more than one occassion, but they are just sticking to flurries around the corridor and all the fun into the mountains, including LES bands reaching the NW portions of the area. Not -removed-, but it seems like more could be in store for us than they are willing to commit to. Does anyone else sense this, or is it just my observation?

I agree with you, however the actiobn would probably be more from DC North and West. We will definitly have Arctic Air coming in, the models are trending colder with it too. As of now, look for highs not getting out of the 30's (maybe lower 40's on the warm days) from Tuesday till around Christmas (may also be longer). If it goes the way it looks right now, may not get out of the 20's some days. Bottom line, VERY COLD!

Also looks to be *very slight* possibility of a Christmas snowstorm in the East. GFS (yes its a long way out) has been showing it in the past couple of runs. It could happen folks, and the current pattern would definitly favor it happening! (except for the neutral NAO )

It would be nice, but I'm not getting my hopes up too much yet. I'm sure it will cool down a bit.
