"East wind, rain" was the coded Japanese radio message that launched events leading to the sneak attack at Pearl Harbor nearly 63 years ago. It's also the dreary forecast for today. East winds off the Atlantic are bringing mist, rain, drizzle, gray skies and cool temperatures to the coastal states from Virginia to New Jersey. Not very pleasant but, all in all, way better than waking up to torpedo planes and dive bombers.
