Low pressure brings a few rain showers to the region today and tonight. Lows tonight are expected to be right around freezing. So a rain/snow mix is possible overnight & in the early hours Friday. Higher elevations will see a more steady snow tonight. Minimal accumulation is expected overnight.

After another foggy start Friday we'll see a few peaks of sunshine during the day. Cool air continues to dominate the eastern U.S. This will keep temps Friday in the 40s. Another low pressure system will bring more rain showers and accumulating snow in the mountains Friday night into Saturday. 3-5 inches is expected in the mountains by Saturday morning. Rain/snow mix could develop in a few low-lying locations to the north Friday night  but accumulation will be minimized.

Cloudy skies and a few leftover rain showers will hang around Saturday. Temps only reach the upper 40s. Clouds break up somewhat on Sunday as high pressure makes a visit. Temperatures will finally reach the 50s Sunday. Warmer Monday & Tuesday with rain showers and isolated thunder possible early next week.
