Discussion
Strong low pressure over the western Atlantic will push to the northeast today and our winds will pick up in intensity with gusts to 30 mph possible during the mid-day and afternoon hours. With the return of the sunshine, temperatures should climb to 65 degrees this afternoon, but the wind will make it feel somewhat cooler. Another low pressure system will impact the region with showers on Thursday night and rain on Friday/Friday night. The late week storm system is likely to get out of here in time for us to squeeze out a pretty decent weekend before another system threatens us with rain by Sunday night or Monday.
