Discussion
Strong high pressure has expanded into the eastern US and it should continue to produce dry and moderately cold conditions. Temperatures should climb into the low-to-mid 40’s for highs today, but should be confined to near 40 for the next couple of days. A wave of energy in the upper atmosphere could help to spawn a coastal storm this weekend, but there is still plenty of uncertainty. If a storm were to form, temperatures would be borderline in terms of rain versus snow given the fact that there will not be an Arctic air mass in place as we begin the weekend.
