Discussion
The powerful storm system that brought heavy rainfall to the region yesterday and last night will push to our northwest today and winds will remain strong and shift to a west-to-southwest direction. While not as powerful as late yesterday and last night, winds can gust to 50 mph or so and there can be a few residual rain showers. Another powerful storm system can bring heavy rain and strong winds to the Mid-Atlantic region on Friday night and this second system will usher in much colder air for the latter part of the upcoming weekend and early part of next week. In fact, there will be some intense cold this weekend dropping southward from Canada into the US and some of this Arctic air will trek south and east reaching the eastern seaboard later in the weekend. A third storm system threatens the eastern states early-to-mid next week and this time snow or a mix of snow and ice will be on the table in the I-95 corridor given the expected preceding influx of Arctic air.
