Discussion
Conditions will remain unsettled over the next couple of days because of the atmospheric roadblock that an offshore strong storm is going to encounter. Winds will increase noticeably today around here as the offshore storm intensifies and begins a loop back towards the NE US coastline. The increased winds will continue tonight and on Friday as well. In addition, there will be a band of clouds and showers that will rotate around the low pressure system and actually drop southwestward later tonight into Friday from the Northeast US to the Mid-Atlantic region. This low pressure system is likely to finally make a true exit during the early part of the weekend into the open waters of the North Atlantic and this will lead to much more settled conditions on Saturday and Sunday with much milder temperatures going into the early part of next week. In fact, Monday is looking like a very nice day with sunshine and warm conditions.
