Discussion
Winds will stay quite strong today on the back side of yesterday’s strong cold frontal passage with gusts to 50 mph. It’ll be quite cold tonight and late night lows won’t be far from the freezing mark in many spots. After a quieter day on Saturday, a major storm will take shape over the middle of the nation on Sunday. This system will head towards the Great Lakes while a secondary low forms in the eastern US. The impact of this storm will be wide-ranging in the eastern half of the nation from Sunday into Monday including accumulating snow in the Upper Midwest to heavy rain in the Mid-Atlantic region to a possible widespread severe weather outbreak across the southern US. Another cold air outbreak arrives in the eastern US by next Tuesday and a rather sustained period of colder-than-normal weather can be expected through the remainder of April.
