Discussion
High pressure will gradually build into the region today and the impact of the just-departed coastal storm will diminish as the day goes on. Winds will start the day on the brisk side - though not as bad as yesterday - and they’ll become nearly calm later tonight. With clear skies and nearly calm winds in the overnight, temperatures are likely to drop to the mid and upper 30's by tomorrow morning and frost is possible for the first time in many suburban locations. An area of low pressure with tropical characteristics will pull out of the Gulf of Mexico early this weekend and slide to our southeast by early Sunday. There is a very good chance that this system becomes a named tropical storm (Nestor) and it should throw some rain our way late Saturday night into Sunday. A strong frontal system is then destined to reach us by Tuesday night and it should result in more rainfall for the Mid-Atlantic region.
