...AN ARCTIC FRONT SWEEPING THROUGH THE REGION EARLY THIS MORNING
WITH A BURST OF RAIN AND GUSTY WINDS...

AT 350 AM, NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR AND SURFACE
OBSERVATIONS WERE TRACKING A NARROW LINE OF HEAVIER SHOWERS WITH
GUSTY WINDS. THIS LINE WAS LOCATED ACROSS EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA TO
THE EASTERN SHORE OF MARYLAND. THE LINE, MARKING THE ARCTIC FRONT,
IS MOVING EASTWARD AT ABOUT 35 MPH.

AN ABRUPT WIND SHIFT TO THE WEST IS EXPECTED WITH THIS LINE ALONG
WITH WIND GUSTS BETWEEN 30 AND 40 MPH AND FALLING TEMPERATURES. IN
ADDITION, BRIEF DOWNPOURS ARE ANTICIPATED FOR MOST LOCALES WITH
THIS LINE WHICH MAY TEND TO REDUCE THE VISIBILITY AND CAUSE WATER
TO POND ON SOME ROADWAYS FOR A BRIEF TIME.
