Synopsis:
Low pressure will move up our coastline though early tonight with periods of heavy rain. A Flood Watch has been posted for a good chunk of the area. One to three inches of rain will cause local flooding of streets, low lying areas, creeks and streams. Never drive through a flooded roadway- TURN AROUND-DON’T DROWN. You can’t judge how deep that water is. The jackpot area looks to be Long Island for the heaviest rainfall. The rain will taper off from South to North within a few hours either side of midnight.
The low will move out of our area before sunrise on Thursday. Other than a morning spotty shower the day now looks to be rain-free with clouds dominating. If we’re lucky we’ll get to see a bit of sun.
Friday will be the best day of the next five. Abundant sunshine is anticipated as strong high pressure noses in from Eastern Canada.
Low pressure number three will move into the East on Saturday evening through Sunday morning with more rain. Duck weather for sure. So we get three lows in 5 days and not a flake to be found. Another Carolina like Winter.
It’ll be a blustery start to the next week as chilly air funnels in from Canada.
Stay tuned.
