Tight Gradient = Windy

As low pressure continues to deepen over the Canadian Maritimes, the pressure difference between that system and a high pressure area building in from the Great Lakes will cause northwest winds to increase tonight, reaching 15-25 mph, with some gusts over 40 mph possible. The National Weather Service has issued a Wind Advisory for most of the region into Tuesday afternoon. There will be varying amounts of cloudiness tonight and there will be some rain & snow showers around - especially to the north. Low temperatures will be mostly in the 30's by morning.

Tuesday will also be windy, with a mix of sun & clouds. Highs will be around 50 degrees, but the northwest wind at 15-25 mph with higher gusts will make it feel less comfortable than that. The wind will decrease a bit Wednesday as the high builds in. Should turn out mostly sunny with highs in the low-mid 50's. Partly sunny with increasing clouds Thursday. Becoming windy again - but this time a southerly wind Highs reach 60-65. Some rain either late Thursday or Thursday night into Friday.
