The upcoming weekend will experience a significant weather shift due to a developing Nor’easter impacting the region. Saturday afternoon will start with pleasant, seasonal temperatures before the arrival of increasing clouds.

Weekend Weather Forecast

A storm system is moving north from the Florida coast, bringing rain and gusty winds by Sunday afternoon. This situation has prompted a Weather Alert for the area.

Marine and Coastal Impacts

  • Offshore wave heights may reach up to 15 feet.
  • Minor coastal flooding is likely during high tide cycles on Monday at 2 AM and 2 PM.
  • Wind gusts are expected to exceed 50 mph on the islands.

While most inland areas might not see severe wind impacts, residents should prepare for cleanup involving fallen leaves and small branches.

Rainfall Predictions

Rainfall amounts are projected to range between 1.5 inches and 3 inches across the region. However, consistency in forecasts has varied as the storm approaches.

Post-Storm Weather Outlook

The storm’s effects are anticipated to diminish late Monday night into early Tuesday, paving the way for a drier air mass. The remainder of the week is expected to remain dry, with some variation in temperatures leading into the next weekend.
