Discussion
High pressure will build into the Mid-Atlantic region today and a strong pressure gradient will develop between this incoming high and the departing low pressure system now over southern Canada. As a result, winds will pick up in intensity by mid-day and could gust past 40 mph to go along with the partly sunny skies and possible snow showers. A heavier snow squall is also possible this afternoon which would likely result in a quick drop in visibility and a small snow accumulation. A cold frontal system is likely to bring a few showers here late in the work week and then it'll turn colder for the upcoming weekend. The influx of colder air this weekend could play an important role as one or possibly two low pressure systems have a chance of impacting the Philly metro region...stay tuned.
