Discussion
After the passage of a strong cold front and associated low pressure system, snow and rain showers will wind down this morning and winds will remain strong today as high pressure edges into the Mid-Atlantic region. Cold air has poured into the eastern states on W-NW winds and those winds can gust to 35 mph throughout the day before slowly diminishing this evening. The chilly air mass will stick around in the Mid-Atlantic region for much of the week with high temperatures generally confined to the 40’s through Thursday.
