NAM Model showing a strong surface low in the Northeast US on Wednesday. |
MID WEEK WEATHER TAKES AN OMINOUS TURN: An extremely large disturbance in the atmosphere develops over the Central US and moves eastward beginning early this week, forcing the development of a strong surface low. Thereafter, the surface low is forecast to move northward up and along the East Coast while interacting with plentiful tropical moisture. Forecast models are a bit inconsistent, so it's too early to tell exactly when or where the heaviest precipitation could fall, but the potential exists for a widespread moderate to heavy rain event on Wednesday throughout the area. We will keep you posted!
THE FORECAST...
Today (Monday): Mostly sunny, with a high near 67. West winds 10 to 15 miles per hour, occassionally gusting near 20 miles per hour. A generally pleasant autumn afternoon!
Tonight: Increasing clouds, with a 20% chance of an isolated shower. Low near 52. West winds between 5 and 10 miles per hour.
