FORECAST
A nor'easter will bring rounds of rain, wind and coastal concerns this weekend. Confidence is growing that significant impacts will be felt at the coast; meanwhile further inland will experience gusty winds and steady rainfall.
There's still some uncertainty about the exact track of the storm, but most of the weather models are leaning towards an inland track. This means the strongest impacts at the coast, but waves of steady rain and gusty winds will disrupt any outdoor plans this weekend. We'll start seeing scattered showers and strong winds late Friday into Saturday. Gusts can reach 35 to 45 mph at times. The heaviest rain is still tracking east Saturday night into Sunday, but still plan for the chance of moderate rainfall and gusty winds over New York City. There is a risk of scattered downed trees, powerlines and outages Friday through Sunday. 1-2 inches of rainfall is possible with locally higher amounts if the track shifts inland.
Before the storm arrives, a gusty northeast wind will continue to push water towards the shoreline, increasing the risk for coastal flooding during high tide and beach erosion at the ocean facing beaches. We'll have more details as the forecast comes into better focus.
Today will be the last dry day this week before the nor'easter tracks closer to the region on Friday. Expect loads of sunshine, cool temperatures in the 60s to near 70 degrees and gusty winds up to 30 MPH. Be sure to stay with News 12 for the latest updates on this potential weekend storm.
