There has been plenty of warm air over the Eastern Seaboard this past weekend and more records are likely to fall over the Southeast today through Wednesday but a sharp change comes today for the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast as the boundary which brought snow, ice, tornadoes, damaging winds and flooding rains across the nations mid-section, east today.
The mountains of Virginia, West Virginia looks to be the best place for any back edge snowfall later today as cooler air gets dragged in from behind. Temps this AM are in the 50s, low 60s over VA into DC but through the day, those readings will fall into the low 40s by late PM and the 30s overnight. Even Washington DC may get a little flurry once the main band pushes through.
