Discussion
The pressure gradient between strong low pressure over Maine and high pressure to our west will intensify early today and the result will be wind gusts to 50 mph in the I-95 corridor. Temperatures will remain below-normal for late November and the winds will make it feel even colder than the actual outside air temperature. The high pressure system to our west today will nose into our area later in the work week before a weak disturbance comes our way on Friday which could cause a few PM rain showers. A more important storm system is coming this weekend likely resulting in another round of soaking rain for the already-waterlogged Mid-Atlantic region.
