Discussion              

It’ll be very windy today, tonight and Wednesday on the back side of a major storm system now over the western Atlantic Ocean. Winds can gust to 50 mph or so through tomorrow and isolated power outages are certainly on the table. In addition to the wind, this major storm system will produce occasional rain/snow in the area through tonight as precipitation bands wrap around from northeast-to-southwest. Snow accumulations will be difficult to attain; however, a coating to an inch or two is possible with the best chances just to the northwest of the metro area. High pressure will take over later in the week and there will be milder conditions for Thursday and Friday.
