NYC Flood Watches Posted High Wind Watches Elsewhere
Good morning everyone. We are watching our next system gathering up its energy, and it’s going to be a strong one at that. Flood watches have been posted for much of the Northeast and New England, plus we have high wind watches for Eastern Long Island and parts of New England.
Not to get ahead of ourselves, be we are also watching a possible repeat of events next weekend as an area of low pressure will try and ride up the coast or up the Appalachians. If the pieces of the puzzle come together, expect another round of strong winds, heavy rain, and possibly some frozen precip depending on the track .
Check out the latest below.
SATELLITE
We start out with sunshine and mild conditions today, then clouds will increase late. Look for highs in the 55-60 range. Clouds lower and thicken tonight, then rain should start some time between mid morning and mid afternoon depending on your location west to east. It’ll be a mile and blustery one, with highs near 60.
Rain intensity increase overnight tomorrow as does the wind. Expect wind gusts 40-50 mph for coastal areas of NJ and NYC on eastward. For eastern Suffolk and parts of coastal New England, look for those high wind watches to become high wind warnings, and we should see some 50-60+ mph gusts. We also cannot rule out a rumble of thunder in the process.
WEATHER RADAR
We’ll start the working Monday with chillier conditions, as well as morning rain and wind. Windy conditions will eventually turn into breezy conditions, then temps will fall through the 40’s.
Sunshine returns on Tuesday, with sunshine and a light breeze, highs in the low to mid 40’s. Same goes for Wednesday, but with even lighter winds.
We’ll keep an eye on our current system, plus our possible secondary big storm for next weekend. Stay tuned.
