"Big Storm Coming!" -Dr. Ng

Surface low currently over eastern Kansas, Upper level low northwest with isallobaric maximum to the east. The GFS has the low dipping south slightly before deepening and making its way up the east coast. The wind will definitely increase as the isobars tighten and the pressure gradient increases. The ETA seems to be in agreement with the low placement just off the coast. Precipitation should start around lunch time, if not, slightly after (ETA). High winds off of the ocean should ensure plenty of moisture for this storm. MOS data points to about category 2-3 precip amounts and highs in the mid to upper 30s, lows in the upper 20s. Overcast and precip totals should limit daytime heating.
