Discussion
Low pressure will continue to intensify today as it grinds its way into the interior part of the Northeast US. As this system intensifies, the overall pressure gradient in the Mid-Atlantic region will tighten and this will lead to the possibility of 50 mph wind gusts from the mid-to-late morning on through the afternoon hours. Temperatures have likely already peaked for the day and will remain colder-than-normal right through the upcoming weekend thanks to a reinforcing shot of cold air that will arrive here by the early part of the weekend.
