Discussion
Low pressure will pull away later today and head towards the waters off of eastern New England. The low pressure will drag a cold front through the region later in the day and an impressive cold air outbreak will arrive in the overnight hours and it'll stay quite cold into the weekend. Temperatures both tomorrow and Saturday afternoon are likely to be held in the middle 30's for highs and it'll be bitter cold tomorrow night with lows in the mid-to-upper teens - some of the coldest readings so far this season. One final note, the rocket launch that was originally scheduled for late Sunday afternoon at NASA’s Wallops Island Facility has been rescheduled for Friday, February 14th at 3:43 PM and it may be visible throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. The original launch was scrubbed due to a faulty sensor issue which should be resolved by week’s end. Weather can be an issue on Friday as winds will be quite gusty out of the northwest throughout the Mid-Atlantic region.
