Discussion
A powerful storm over southeastern Canada is combining with strong high pressure over the Upper Midwest to create a very tight pressure gradient field today and this is leading to high winds gusts across the Mid-Atlantic region. Winds can gust into the 50-60 mph range and scattered power outages are possible given the well saturated grounds which can weaken root systems of trees. The air mass is quite chilly as we begin the new work week and it’ll feel much colder with the strong winds. After a calmer and sunny day on Tuesday, a couple of disturbances have to be watched for the mid-to-late week as they can throw some snow or rain our way.
