Synopsis:
A coastal storm will affect our area through Monday. Rain, wind and coastal flooding is expected to affect our region. The brunt of the storm will be from Sunday evening through Monday morning.
The rain from the storm will sweep off the ocean during the afternoon and evening and continue through Monday. Potential rainfall of 1/2″ well inland to 2″-3″ at the coast is forecast by Monday night.
Winds will increase and gust to 40-50mph Sunday along the coast. Peak wind gusts of up to 60mph are possible Sunday night at the coast. Scattered power outages are possible. Winds won’t be as strong inland.
Moderate to Major coastal flooding is expected at the time of high tide both Sunday and Monday. Water rises of 2′-4′ above high tide level is expected at the high tide cycles. Please take necessary precaution before inundation occurs.
By Tuesday the storm will drift off the coast. Any morning showers will give way to some afternoon sun.
Wednesday and Thursday will feature mostly sunny skies as high pressure and a brisk North wind dominate. I’ll be chilly again by late week.
Stay tuned.
