Discussion
The storm that impacted the Mid-Atlantic region on Wednesday continues to intensify as it moves northeastward towards the Canadian Maritime provinces. The pressure gradient between the departing low and an incoming high pressure system will tighten today and the result here can be gusts of up to 40 mph or so. High pressure will then take control for the end of the week and upcoming weekend with a continuation of moderately chilly conditions.
