Hello everyone!

Today will feature the last chance this week for sun as we have a cut-off nor’easter to look forward to. More details on that below. Today however is shaping up to be pretty nice with NW winds slowly subsiding and temps rising into the upper 50’s. Clouds though will be on the increase with fully overcast conditions expected by sundown.

The seven-day forecasts can be found in our new maps section.

As for the Nor’easter slated to hit this week, expect periods of rain starting Tuesday evening and lasting through Thursday evening. Winds will also be gusty at times from the NE.

Here is the official HPC QPF forecast for the next seven days (this storm is the only one forecast for the next seven days). I agree with them in that the bullseye should be in the NE corner of our forecast zones however I think 5″ is a little overdone. For now, expect widespread 2-3″ amounts with 4″ possible in NE zones and the favored upslope areas.

Rain moves out Thursday evening/Friday morning and clearing begins Friday evening. Saturday should be bright and clear with breezy conditions possible once again.

With such a long period of onshore winds, coastal flooding is always a big concern. While tides are astronomically high now, they are low by astronomical standards which should prevent significant coastal flooding. With that in mind, some splashover is likely at exposed areas. Also of concern will be beach erosion as wave action will be high during this period. Again, not something to be overly worried about but it is good to keep in mind.
