Discussion
Today will be another cold and windy day in the Mid-Atlantic region with well below-normal temperatures and gusts up to 35 mph or so. The combination of departing strong low pressure out over the Atlantic Ocean and an incoming high pressure system in the middle of the country is resulting in a tight pressure gradient across the region; hence, winds will be strong throughout the day from a northwesterly direction. Temperatures moderate this weekend with afternoon highs back to 40+ degrees by Sunday and it’ll turn even milder during the first half of next week.
