Forecast Discussion For Tuesday February 2nd

The period will start off with high pressure exiting off the Mid Atlantic coast and the next wave approaching the area along the Gulf Coast. Almost a repeat of last week with temperatures supporting an all rain event. With a south easterly flow ahead of the approaching system temperatures will only be a few degrees cooler with the moisture and clouds streaming in. Both the GFS and NAM have plenty of gulf moisture so expecting at about a quarter of an inch of precipitation. As the system moves off to the east winds will turn to the north allowing temperatures to drop to a few degrees above freezing and high pressure over the area.
