Discussion
Mid-Atlantic: A powerful storm over southeastern Canada is combining with strong high pressure over the Upper Midwest to create a tight pressure gradient field and this is leading to high winds gusts across the Mid-Atlantic. Winds can gust into the 50-60 mph range today, but will begin to diminish later tonight as high pressure edges closer to the region. 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 weak disturbances could throw some clouds our way at mid-week and perhaps a few snow or rain showers.
