WHAT TO KNOW
That fall chill is in the air as the region officially marks the summer coming to a close. The Autumnal Equinox begins Tuesday at 8:04 p.m.
Unseasonably cool, fall-like weather will stick around throughout the week alongside gusty conditions. Persistent northeasterly winds are bringing dangerous rip currents and minor-to-moderate coastal flooding to ocean-facing beaches heading into the weekend.
The News 12 Storm Watch Team is keeping a close eye on a potential weekend nor’easter that could impact coastal communities. Weather models remain split on the storm's exact track. The European model pushes the system closer to our region, while the American model keeps it offshore, bringing only light rain and breezy conditions on Saturday. The track, timing, and specific impacts will likely shift over the coming days.
Regardless of how close the storm gets, expect a windy weekend with high rip current risks, beach erosion, and coastal flooding driven by the full moon and strong northeast winds. Check back with the News 12 Storm Watch Team as it refines the forecast.
