Discussion              

It’ll remain moderately cold again today after the passage of a weak cold front on Wednesday, but it does turn milder on Friday and the milder conditions should last through the upcoming weekend. Powerful low pressure is going to turn northward this weekend after pounding the Florida Peninsula and other sections of the SE US and push right on through the eastern states from south-to-north. This storm will produce lots of rain and wind around here from later Sunday into Monday. Some of the rain can be heavy and some of the winds can get very strong; especially, along coastal sections where beach erosion and flooding are on the table. Colder air pushes in on the back side of the storm by Tuesday, and there may be some lingering precipitation from what likely turns out to be a slow-moving storm system.
