Synopsis:
A low over the area this evening will cause rain, heavy at times for the evening commute. Since most area rivers are near bankfull and the ground is complete saturated any additional heavy rain will cause another round of flooding issues. For this reason a Flood Watch has been posted for much of the tri-state area into early tonight. Between 0.5″ and 1.5″ of rainfall is expected by midnight tonight. The heaviest rain looks to fall North and East of the City. The rain will taper off from Southwest to Northeast through the evening hours.
Coastal flooding is possible at times of high tide early tonight for Long Island Sound. Winds will be strong at the coast through early tonight.
We’ll get to dry out fo the rest of the week. It’ll be storm-free and chilly as a persistent dry Northwest wind takes hold due to an strong upper level low over the Northeast and Eastern Canada. Readings will be several degrees below the average high of 50º.
You know where to find a no hype, no nonsense forecast.
Stay tuned.
