Synopsis:
Low pressure will develop on the Mid-Atlantic coast and ride North today. Heavy rain is expected with this system. This go around the wind will be the issue along with coastal flooding and fresh water flooding. The brunt of the storm will be from this afternoon into early tonight.
Flood Watches have been posted for potential flooding of streams, rivers and highways. One to two plus additional rainfall is expected through early Thursday morning. High Wind Warnings and Advisories are up for the region. Winds along the coast may gust between 50-60mph. 40-50mph gusts are possible elsewhere. Coastal flooding Watches and Warnings have been issued. Tidal flooding is likely especially at times of high tide.
By Thursday, the steady rain should be out of the area as intense low pressure moves into Eastern New England. The backside of the storm will draw colder air into the atmosphere so any rain showers have the possibility of going over to snow showers inland.
Friday and Saturday the storm will well out to sea and weaken. We’ll be left with upper low pressure swinging through the region. This will cause the atmosphere to be unstable. A spotty shower is possible Friday afternoon under a mix of sun and clouds. A gusty Northwest breeze will create a nip in the air. We’ll definitely be experiencing Spring’s chilly side through the period.
Sunday will be the best day of the next five with high pressure moving in. Readings will be more seasonable in the mid to upper 50s under abundant sunshine.
Stay tuned.
