Discussion

Low pressure is pushing off the North Carolina coastline this morning and it’ll head to the northeast out over the open waters of the western Atlantic. It will not, however, continue in this direction for much longer before it encounters a blocking pattern in the upper part of the atmosphere which will lead to an unusual movement in coming days as it will retrograde back towards the Northeast US. The offshore storm will likely result in unsettled conditions around here during the next few days with plenty of clouds today thanks to chilly air aloft which makes it unstable as well as plenty of low level mositure. On Thursday, as this offshore system strengthens and begins to loop back around towards the coast, the NW winds will pick up in intensity gusting to 25 mph or so. By Thursday night or early Friday, a band of clouds and showers may actually drop southwestward through the Northeast US and into the Mid-Atlantic region as the offshore low makes its closest approach. Over the weekend, high pressure from our west is likely to bring about more settled conditions around here and milder temperatures.
