Discussion              

Low pressure will strengthen off the east coast today and the pressure gradient between the departing low and a building high pressure system to our west will intensify resulting in increasing NW winds around here as the day progresses.  It stays quite breezy tonight and Thursday will be a seasonably chilly day with high pressure in control.  Low pressure will pass by to our north on Thursday night and it could generate a few snow showers in the metro region. Another low pressure system can bring some rain showers here on Christmas Day (Saturday).
