Discussion

Winds will be a big factor for the next couple of days with Arctic high pressure in control to go along with the continuing below-normal temperatures. Gusts can exceed 30 mph today from a northwesterly direction and potentially reach 40 mph on Thursday. Low pressure will form over the Gulf of Mexico later tomorrow and produce a lot of snow and ice for the southern states from Texas-to-Georgia over the next couple of days. It will head northeast towards the Mid-Atlantic coastal waters by the early part of the weekend and could produce some snow around here from late Friday night into Saturday morning…looking like a light event for us.
