Hello everyone!

Our upcoming rain and wind event remains largely on track and only minor adjustments are needed to the forecast this evening.

Rain is starting over western and northern areas but most of the steady heavy stuff lurks back over NY and points south. Rain will continue to overspread the area this evening and will become heavier as the night goes on. Winds will also increase gusting over 50 mph at the coast where a wind advisory is up. Lesser winds are expected inland but some gusty conditions are still likely. Total rainfall totals remain the same with 1-1.5″ likely for most with higher amounts to 2-2.5″ on the south facing slopes of the mountains.

Rain winds down tomorrow morning along with winds but temps will be on the rise getting up into the 70’s! Cooler weather is likely for the end of the week.

Hello everyone!

Today will feature the arrival of our storm system that I have talked about for a few days now. We start off nice and chilly this morning with some breaks of sun before clouds finish overspreading the area later this morning.

Winds increase along with clouds today out of the east shifting south-east and becoming quite strong by evening. Rain will approach the region arriving in western areas around 3-4 PM and eastern areas closer to 6 PM. The worst conditions will arrive around midnight tonight with heavy rain and high winds peaking through 7 AM or so. Wind gusts to 60mph are totally in play for coastal areas, the farther east you go up the coast the more likely you are to see that type of wind. Winds will be lesser inland but will quickly increase again with elevation especially above 1-2 thousand feet. A general 1-1.5″ of rain is likely with more in the favored SE upslope areas.

I’ll have another update as the storm starts up this evening.
