Nor’easter Alert: Major Weather Impact Expected Late Weekend

Weekend Weather Brings Storm Warnings and Coastal Concerns

This holiday weekend, the weather kicks off with pleasant and seasonable temperatures on Saturday afternoon, although increasing clouds signal upcoming changes. A storm system, developing off the Florida coast, is projected to move north, impacting the region by Sunday afternoon and evening with rain and gusty winds. A Weather Alert is in effect to prepare for potential disruptions.

Marine Forecast and Coastal Flooding Risks

The marine community is expected to face significant challenges as offshore wave heights are forecasted to build up to 15 feet. Minor coastal flooding could occur during high tide cycles, predominantly on Monday at around 2 a.m. and 2 p.m. Those involved in maritime activities should exercise caution and remain updated with the latest forecasts.

Wind and Rain Threats Across the Area

The storm’s highest wind impact is anticipated across the islands, with gusts potentially exceeding 50 mph on Monday. While wind severity for most inland areas appears moderate, homeowners might find themselves dealing with a mess of leaves and small branches scattered across yards. Moreover, rainfall is expected to be significant, with potential accumulations ranging from 1.5 to 3 inches.

Week Ahead: Storm Departure and Weather Outlook

The storm is expected to shift away late Monday night into early Tuesday, bringing a drier air mass into the region. The remainder of the week looks set to stay dry, with some temperature variations anticipated leading into the following weekend.

As the situation may evolve, staying informed with updates from Emegypt and other weather advisories is crucial to ensure preparedness throughout the weekend. Keep tuned for the latest developments to safeguard against the varied impacts of the storm system.
