Discussion
An off-shore storm will shift away from the region today and there will be some sunshine, but its proximity will continue to result in windy conditions in the Mid-Atlantic. High pressure will build into the area on Thursday, but then another storm will form near the eastern seaboard from Friday into Saturday. This next system is associated with the energy left behind from the storm that pounded the west coast on Sunday and Monday and it could bring more significant rain and wind to the Mid-Atlantic region. Looking ahead, a cold front is likely to push our way by the middle part of next week.
