FORECAST

Fall is here and so are the cooler temperatures and gusty winds. Today will be dry, cool, and windy with gusts between 25-30 MPH. Unfortunately, the relentless gusty winds continue through the weekend where a potential nor'easter could impact the region.

There is a growing confidence that a coastal storm will form Southeast of the area Friday through Saturday, but the uncertainty still lies with how close the storm will get to the region. The latest trends are slightly more in agreement with the storm grazing the area with rain, wind and significant coastal impacts Saturday night into Sunday. The storm looks to depart by early Monday morning, but not before dropping up to an inch of rainfall and gusts up to 35 MPH. Flash flooding is not a concern with this storm; this is more of a wind event with major coastal concerns. The storm still hasn't formed yet, and there is still some uncertainty with the exact track, impacts and timing.

What we do know is despite the distance or timing of the nor'easter, communities at the immediate coast will feel the strongest impacts starting on Friday and lasting through Sunday. There will be a risk of wind damage with any gusts exceeding 40MPH, beach erosion, dangerous rip currents and multiple rounds of coastal flooding due to the full moon and persistent northeasterly winds. Stick with your News 12 team of meteorologists as we continue to fine tune the details on this storm.
