FORECAST
A weak storm has developed well offshore, and we're becoming more confident that it could strengthen into a nor'easter as we head into the weekend.
There's still some uncertainty about the exact track of the storm, but right now, the biggest impacts look to stay focused along the coast. The weather will begin to turn more unsettled Friday and through the weekend, with increasing chances for rain. That's also when we'll be watching for the strongest winds and the highest tides.
Even before the storm arrives, we're already dealing with a stiff northeast breeze. That onshore wind will continue to push water toward the shoreline, raising the risk for coastal flooding during high tide. Rough surf and beach erosion are also concerns. Along the coast, wind gusts could top 40 mph at times. We'll have more details as the forecast comes into better focus.
In the meantime, expect breezy conditions to stick around, with northeast winds at 10 to 20 mph and gusts up to 30 mph. It'll be a cool night across the borough, with lows falling into the mid-50s. Temperatures on Thursday will struggle to get out of the upper 60s, with some spots reaching 70 degrees.
Thursday starts off sunny, but clouds will increase as the day goes on. By Friday evening, a few breezy showers could begin to move in.
