Discussion              

Low pressure will head up along the southeast US coastline today and its impact will largely be limited to areas to the south and east of the immediate I-95 corridor.  Coastal sections of New Jersey and the Delmarva Peninsula could get a bit of rain out of this system later tonight and a late night rain, sleet or snow shower cannot be ruled out around here..  On the backside of the departing low pressure, winds on Wednesday will pick up in intensity out of the NW as another chilly air mass pushes into the region from the Great Lakes region.  Fast-moving low pressure will cross the Northeast US on Thursday night and it will mainly impact areas to the north of the PA/MD border.
