A Wind Advisory Is In Effect! Another Shot Of Storms Later This Week

We're still tracking that strong low pressure system across the area. Winds continue to be our main threat. This radar image was taken at 11:24am EDT.
A wind advisory is in effect until 8:pm EDT. A WIND ADVISORY MEANS THAT SUSTAINED WINDS OF... 30 MPH...OR GUSTS OVER 45 MPH ARE EXPECTED. WINDS THIS STRONG CAN MAKE DRIVING DIFFICULT...ESPECIALLY FOR HIGH PROFILE VEHICLES. USE EXTRA CAUTION.

TODAY- We will continue to look for scattered rain showers in the area. Rainfall between a tenth and a quarter inch expected. Gusty winds will be the main threat this afternoon. Winds between 10 and 20 mph, gusting between30 and 40 mph at times. Expect a high today around 74* degrees.

TONIGHT- Few light scattered showers otherwise mostly cloudy as that low pressure system continues to push through the area. Breezy winds gusting between 25 and 30 mph. Look for a low tonight around 44* degrees as the cold front nears.

TUESDAY- A few light left over showers possible int he morning hours however we will dry out and become partly cloudy to mostly sunny across the area. Expect a high around 68* degrees and a low Tuesday night around 51* degrees.

EXTENDED OUTLOOK- Wednesday night into Thursday we will have yet another low pressure system move through the area. Right now models are showing a possible squall line developing out ahead of a cold front with this system. It is something we will continue to watch as we head through the week. Another event of high winds and heavy rain could be possible.
This model image above is looking into late Wednesday / early Thursday.
Temperatures will try to get back around average with highs in the upper 50s / low 60s for the rest of the week.
 
I'll keep you posted!
