Discussion
Intense low pressure off the Maine coastline is producing a very tight pressure gradient in the Northeast US and the result will be the continuation of intense winds as we begin the new work week. Gusts can reach 60 mph this morning and up to 50 mph this afternoon and there is the concern for more in the way of downed limbs and power outages. The cold frontal passage of last night has ushered in a colder air mass and it’ll feel even worse due to the strong winds. At mid-week, a “clipper” system will drop into the area from our northwest and it could generate snow showers in the region.
