HEAVY RAINS FROM COASTAL LOW

A slow-moving coastal storm will linger near the mid-Atlantic States through the next several days. This storm is forming in part from the remnants of Tropical Storm Karen. Gale force wind conditions are likely along portions of the Atlantic Coast. These prolonged northeast winds will cause seas to build up to 14 feet 

offshore, with waves in the surf zone building to 7 to 9 feet. 

Gale force wind conditions are occurring along portions of the Atlantic Coast. Minor to moderate beach erosion is possible during the times of high tide due to the coastal flooding and heavy wave action. 

Something that i must say and very well could happen with the set up we are in. Impacts from this storm will worsen if it intensifies more than expected or comes closer to the coast. Keep an eye on the forecast

Below is a wind map showing where the strongest winds will be,Winds will gust in the 40 to 45 miles an hour range near the Atlantic Coast, and 20 to 25 miles an hour inland.

Map below is what the NWS is saying about rainfall totals over the next few days. The are really staying on the higher end of the forecast, But got to wait and see what happens later today into tonight.

So in closing we need to keep a close on on this storm as it craws up the coast. Today will be off and on rain with heavy rain in bands that will set up off the ocean. Your next update will be at 6:30pm tonight so please check back for updates.
