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 mainly sunny skies. 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 DC region...stay tuned.
