Easterly Winds, Coastal Floods, and the Northeast on Alert
Hi, this is Middle Roger, Steve Pelletier, and I am the Weatherman. Thanks for checking into the Weathermanpod.com on your Saturday, and this is a special Saturday afternoon, Saturday evening report. We uh updated you earlier today and uh told you that we're gonna be talking to you again this afternoon because of the development of this coastal low pressure system. Biggest problem with this system uh is the strong easterly wind that's gonna be to the north of the center. Now, the center during the daytime today is located or expected to be located just off the outer banks of North Carolina. Your strongest winds are gonna be from Delmarva across to South Jersey and up through Long Island and coastal southern New England. And that's where you're going to have coastal flooding and excessive high tides, times of high tides. Those high tides probably are occurring between 1 and 3 a.m. in the morning and between 2 and 4 p.m. in the afternoon on Sunday and Monday. So keep that in mind. Leading up to those high tides, that's when you're going to have uh the possibility of that flooding rushing in very quickly. A strong east by northeast wind. Some of the gusts will be up to about 40 nuts offshore. And of course, with that in mind, it is sort of like a semi-uh tropical or subtropical system. Either way, it's just going to be a rainy day on Sunday night and Monday night. We have uh coastal flood warnings in effect for Sunday and Monday. So keep that in mind as well. This is again for the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. The main area of concern is Delmarva, uh, New Jersey coast, Long Island coast, and coastal southern New England. Uh that includes, of course, the islands, the Cape Massachusetts Islands, and the Cape as well. So uh weather-wise, it's just going to be uh clouds and some drizzle and showers on Saturday in the Northeast. And heavier rainfall moves in later Sunday and through Monday, but it could be between one and three inches of rainfall from the system. Of course, it always depends on the exact development and tracking, and we'll be updating you on Sunday as well. So, as mentioned, as we're uh looking, if you are traveling today, the weather does look good on Saturday and Saturday evening for the New York area. Of course, the other problems are, of course, the not only they're not really realistically slowdowns because you know a lot of folks are uh uh just trying to work extra hard at the National Weather Service. These guys are federal employees and they work shift work 24 hours a day. Somebody's there covering this situation, and they do that uh from the beginning of their career, usually to the end of the career. Similar situation, of course, with the most important the FAA tower and radar personnel. Uh keeping our airlines safe uh by uh keeping good separation, of course, uh watching out for bad weather situations too. So uh uh our uh thanks go out to them as well. But it does look good in Atlanta, an improving trend for South Florida, decent weather in Chicago, West Coast looking good, except for the Pacific Northwest, where rain is going to be occurring in Portland and Seattle. I'm in your model, Steve Pelletier, and I am the weatherman. We'll have an update for Sunday morning and we'll probably update you again Sunday afternoon. Until then, hope you have a good day. See you then.
