Discussion
It’ll remain quite cold today, but the winds will be a non-factor as high pressure moves overhead and relaxes the pressure gradient in the Mid-Atlantic region. This same high pressure system will shift off the east coast on Friday and this will begin a warming trend that will intensify on Saturday. In fact, temperatures are likely to reach 60+ degrees on Saturday as a SW wind stiffens on the backside of the high. A strong storm will pull out of the south-central US on Saturday and head towards the Great Lakes region. This weekend storm will become a news maker in much of the eastern half of the nation as it’ll generate significant snow and ice on its north and west sides and potential severe weather to its south and east. Rain is likely here on Saturday night and it can be accompanied by a thunderstorm to go along with the strong SW winds and unusually mild conditions for this time of year.
