Discussion
A trough of low pressure will dip through the eastern US today bringing us a chance for showers and thunderstorms and very warm conditions with highs near 90 degrees. A frontal system will accompany this upper-level trough and begin a cooling trend around here by early next week. In addition to the cool down, the winds will become a big player as pressure gradient tightens between strengthening high pressure over the Northeast US and a tropical system over the Gulf of Mexico and Hurricane Teddy over the Atlantic. In fact, this windy stretch may last several days which will likely result in large, long swells and hazardous boating conditions.
