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 turn out to be a seasonably chilly day with high pressure in control. Low pressure will pass by to our north on Thursday night and its impact will likely be limited to areas north of the PA/MD border. Another low pressure system can bring some rain showers here on Christmas Day (Saturday).
