DC Weather: Nor' Easter Update

Let's talk about it now. 801 is the time and as we look at why this is again Ocean City, my goodness, you could just see that the surface pretty high there. Things are looking pretty ominous this morning, but closer in, it's not that bad yet, but conditions, they're changing to went over some talking about it. Let's get some more details from her this morning. Good morning again to you. Good morning to you. Yeah, we're gonna see some showers a little bit later on today. Winds already have started to pick up quite a bit, but we'll get more rainfall as we get into tomorrow. Maureen, but areas to our north and I'm saying our our north, I'm talking about north of the Beltway will get actually a lot more, of course, as will lower southern areas of Maryland. So 62 degrees right now with the clouds, we're dealing with winds right now, but really not much else. Northwesterly breeze at 15 miles an hour. And here's a look at this thing as it's out here on the coast, spinning away copious amounts of rainfall expected all the way up the coastal area. For us right now, we're just on the far edge of this, so we're not seeing us. The other thing is we've got a lot of dry air that's in place. Ridge of high pressure building into the north that's blocking the movement of this. And so we actually are not going to get a lot of rainfall from it today. Later on this afternoon, we'll get some, but tomorrow we're expecting to get much more when it comes to the rainfall. But we will get that wind field that's continuing to push its way through. Is this by 8 30? You can see the center of it heading right off the coast of New York, Manhattan, Jersey Shore, Boston. They're all going to get slammed from this system very much so. But this is all the way up to the north, impacting parts of northern New England as well before it's all said and done over the next few days. So here's a look at what we're dealing with. We have some flood alerts, coastal flood advisory in effect in this light green area you see here. That includes King George, Charles and ST Mary's County until Sunday at five. And then the darker areas, which includes Delmarva and our beaches are under coastal flood warnings. I want to also say that there was a gale warning in effect because of the winds that does include the Chesapeake and the lower tidal Potomac. So keep that in mind if you have any kind of sailing vessel out there. So here's a look at some of the winds up to 40 mile per hour wind gusts. Atlantic City, 36 Central Park, 32 39 Ocean City. So this is a pretty good indication of what we're talking about. That wind field very wide and very massive. And those winds definitely could be taking down power lines and trees and with all that rainfall combined with it as we get into the next day or so. So uh, anybody along the coastal area definitely impact. Here's a look at your planner for the day. Our temperatures are gonna be a little bit on the cooler side because of all of this. But warming up next week, I'll have that coming up a little bit later. Maureen Glenn, thank you.
