Discussion
On the heels of yesterday’s soaking rainfall, an intense coastal low will continue to impact the region today with wind gusts of 40-50 mph and scattered power outages are certainly on the table. In addition, today will turn out to be one of the coolest days so far this season with temperatures holding at or below 60 degrees and with much lower wind chill values. The breeze will stick around tonight and Friday and then will die down on Friday night allowing for temperatures to fall to near 40 degrees in some suburban locations. Low pressure will pull out of the Gulf States this weekend and it could produce clouds and rain here later Sunday into Monday.
