Northeast Still Shivering

Another day of unseasonably cold air will make many residents of theNortheast reach for their winter coats and hats on Wednesday. The cold air isthe result of a large storm system over Quebec, which is producing strongnorthwesterly winds across the region. Most of the I-95 corridor fromWashington D.C. to Boston dropped into the upper 30s early Wednesday morning.To put the chilly air in perspective, Tuesday's high temperature inPhiladelphia was 48 degrees. The last time Philadelphia failed to reach 50degrees was back on March 26th. Temperatures across the Northeast will be a fewdegrees warmer on Wednesday, thanks to a few more peeks of sunshine during theafternoon hours. The major cities along Interstate 95 are expected to climbinto the 50s on Wednesday.

Even warmer air is on the way, as a ridge of high pressure is forecast tomove off the East Coast over the next 24 hours. This will allow for the windsto shift to the Southwest. The warm winds will allow temperatures to return tonormal for Thursday and Friday.
