Synopsis:
An intense storm will be moving through the Ohio River Valley today. The storm will take an inland track-a warm solution. Any morning sunshine will give way to increasing and thickening clouds. Much of the daylight hours on Friday will be dry. Precipitation will move in toward sunset. Mainly rain is expected along the coast with any mix or ice North and West going over to rain Friday night. JMW is not expecting an accumulation of snow with the exception of the Mid-Hudson Valley and Catskills before a changeover.
This system looks to carry with it copious amounts of precipitation overnight as a secondary storm develops along the Delmarva and moves just Southeast of NYC. This time frame will be the brunt of the storm. One to two inches of rain is quite likely. Winds will increase and become strong Friday night. Gusts to 50mph are possible mainly at the coast. Coastal tidal flooding is also of concern for Saturday morning’s high tide cycle.
Early morning rain and scattered showers are likely Saturday, otherwise skies will remain mostly cloudy as the system pulls into the Atlantic Saturday afternoon.
Sunday will feature a much brighter sky with readings a few degrees above the average of the lower to m id 40s.
All is quiet as we start next week with mainly sunny skies on Monday. Tuesday will feature weak low pressure moving across the Northeast. Shattered showers are possible. Both days will feature readings above the average high of the mid 40s.
Stay tuned.
Keep it here for a no hype, no nonsense forecast.
