Discussion

The main weather story today will be the wind with gusts possible of 45 mph making it feel much colder than the actual air temperatures. In fact, wind chill levels can drop to below-zero at times of the highest wind gusts...not a day to stay outside for long stretches. The powerful NW winds are being generated by a tight pressure gradient between strong low pressure over Nova Scotia and high pressure building across the middle of the nation.

Elsewhere, low pressure will get organized later today over the northwestern Gulf of Mexico. Cold air has penetrated deep into the southern states and this combination will lead to significant snow and ice from Texas to the Carolinas during the next couple of days. That same low pressure will head northeast and likely reach the coastal waters of the southern Mid-Atlantic by mid-day Saturday. It will be a relatively weak system for us likely producing a light snow event from late Friday night into early Saturday on the order of a coating to a couple of inches. High pressure and more cold air returns to the region for the early part of next week.

A bit of good news to wrap up…spring training is only 33 days away.
