Discussion              

The major storm that pounded the interior Northeast US with snowfall on Tuesday and the entire northeastern quadrant of the nation with powerful winds will slowly drift out to sea today.  Despite its gradual departure, winds will remain quite strong in the region today gusting up to 40 mph or so. High pressure builds into the region on Thursday and it’ll turn milder with much less wind. A cold front is likely to bring us some shower activity later Friday and colder air will follow for the weekend.
