Discussion

Low pressure is reforming off of the Mid-Atlantic coastline this morning and the northward advance of the warming has grinded to a halt. In fact, this afternoon will feature a pickup in the winds and temperatures will begin a downward trend as colder air pushes to the south from the north. Winds could actually gust to 45 or 50 mph later today and tonight as the departing storm intensifies off the northeast coastline. Low temperatures by early tomorrow are likely to be in the neighborhood of 15 degrees or so in much of the region. After a cold Tuesday, it’ll turn milder on Wednesday before another cold shot arrives in time for Thursday and Friday.
