Discussion
A strong cold front will arrive in the eastern states later today and it’ll turn very windy and much milder ahead of it and then sharply colder behind it during the overnight hours. The winds can gust past 40 mph later in the day from a southwesterly direction and then again later tonight following the frontal passage from a northwesterly direction. After a cold and dry day on Tuesday, low pressure will push from the south-central states to a position off the Mid-Atlantic coastline on Wednesday bringing the chance of some snow which can be mixed with rain and/or sleet at times. Some snow accumulations are possible in the region with this mid-week system likely in the range of a coating to a couple of inches.
