Discussion

A cold front will cross the area this morning and pave the way for a cool and dry rest of the week in the Mid-Atlantic region. Temperatures today can climb into the lower 70’s for afternoon highs and then will likely be confined to the 60’s for the rest of the week with overnight lows down in the 40’s. On the tropical scene, Milton is now a category 2 hurricane and is likely to intensify into a “major” hurricane as it crosses the Gulf of Mexico with a possible landfall on Wednesday afternoon somewhere along Florida’s west-central Gulf coast and perhaps right in the Tampa Bay region.
