Discussion
The pressure gradient will remain rather tight today between strong low pressure over the Canadian Maritimes and strong high pressure over southern Canada and this will result in continued strong winds around here in the Mid-Atlantic region with gusts to 50 mph possible. Winds will slacken off tonight and Friday, but the chill will continue with overnight lows way down in the 20’s and highs struggling to reach freezing on Friday afternoon. By the early part of the weekend, low pressure will pull out of the south-central US and heads towards the northeast at the same time strong high pressure will build into southeastern Canada with a reinforcing very cold air mass. While still a couple days away, some accumulating snow is a good bet in the Philly metro region from later Saturday into Sunday.
