Windy Start To 2010

After our next storm system moves through New Year's Eve and Day, the low will park itself over coastal New England for the first few days of 2010 with a tight pressure gradient from New England to the Mid-Atlantic.

This will mean a couple blustery days on January 2nd and 3rd, with afternoon wind chills in the low-20's and teens as air temperatures rise only into the mid-30's. Colder air will be advected from Canada across the Great Lakes, over the mountains into Virginia. It looks like our below-average temperatures that started Monday will last through much of next week as well!
