Synopsis:
A significant storm will affect the area this afternoon into late tonight. Heavy rain, high winds and balmy temperatures are anticipated. Start time of the rain will be between Noon and 3pm. The brunt of the storm will be from 7pm to 3am Wednesday. One to three inches of rain is possible. A Flood Watch has been posted. Saturated grounds will cause water to runoff and not soak into the soil leading to local flooding. There is a moderate chance of flooding in the area of red (map above).
High Wind Warnings are up for the coast and NYC with Wind Advisories elsewhere. There is the potential for wind gusts to 55-65mph, especially at the coast. Now is the time to secure any loose outdoor objects. A saturated ground with the high winds anticipated will aide in bringing some trees down. Power outages are a concern.
The rain will end before sunrise on Wednesday with skies breaking for some sun. It’ll still be windy. High temperatures will occur during the wee hours of the morning then drop some during the day.
High pressure will move in for the end of the week. Temperatures will remain above the average high of the upper 30s under a mix of sun and clouds.
The next system will affect the region Friday night into Saturday morning. Amazingly this storm will take the same track as its predecessor. An inland track meaning rain once again.
Stay tuned.
