Strong nor’easter incoming

And that blocking high that's been doing this all week is going to stay in position for for most of the weekend but fortunately that's coming with some complications so we've got the cereal low pressure along a stalled frontal boundary and that's gonna cut off and it's going to interact with this closed upper low that develops along the east coast.

So surface low is going to develop offshore, meander near New England because of that strong blocking, and evolve into a fairly potent nor'easter.

So we're going to have a period of rain developing right around rush hour tomorrow and potentially lasting all the way into Monday afternoon, granted intermittently.

So the worst of the rain, the most persistent, generally light to moderate rain.

will be on Saturday.

It'll be more intermittent on Sunday.

So in terms of the rainfall, it's generally two to four inches highest amounts east.

Maybe someone out east gets five.

So wouldn't completely rule out flooding.

And the Weather Prediction Center has most of the area in a marginal risk for excessive rainfall, although it does have much of Suffolk in a slight risk.

Now, we also have a full moon tomorrow night, and this is going to be a long-duration event.

So if you're in an area that experiences coastal flooding, it's highly likely that that you will experience it again this go-around.

Looks like the worst of the coastal flooding is going to occur Saturday morning with that high tide cycle.

So just to get into the details a little bit, we've already had some splash over along the South Shore communities, some of the back bays of Nassau and Suffolk.

So we've already, just for this evening, we've got a coastal flood advisory for southern Nassau and southwest Suffolk.

That's just for your Thursday evening high tide cycle.

Now, we've also got a wind advisory today.

for the entire area.

That goes into effect Friday, tomorrow, 2 p.m., and goes all the way through 6 a.m. Sunday.

That's area-wide because, as we said, there could be some wind gusts locally up to 60 miles per hour, generally thinking most gusts are going to be in the 40 to 50 mile per hour range and sustained of 20 to 25.

Now, so we talked about, spoke about the rainfall and the coastal flooding.

Some of the max gusts with this, as I said, could be around potentially 60 miles an hour or 55 to 60 Saturday afternoon in eastern Suffolk.

And just a little more about the coastal flooding.

I was looking for something.

So, as we said, for the Friday morning high tide cycle, We've got coastal flood advisories for southern Nassau and southwest Suffolk.
