FORECAST

Winds will be noticeably breezy, up to 25 to 30 mph through the midweek. A nearby offshore storm will bring indirect impacts to the immediate coast.

A large coastal storm is expected to strengthen throughout the midweek. The National Hurricane Center has a 40% chance that this storm could develop into a subtropical cyclone later this week and slowly track northeast. This storm is forecast to bring high surf, large swells, beach erosion, coastal flooding, and a persistent gusty north to northeast wind to the Mid-Atlantic states. If the storm tracks slightly closer, winds will become a bigger concern inland, with rain likely along the east end of Long Island and southeastern Connecticut on Wednesday into Thursday. As of now, the storm is expected to stay away from New York City with little to no impacts.

As the storm tracks away from our region, dry and slightly cooler weather is expected through this weekend. Stay tuned for updates with the News 12 team.
