STORM WATCH: Powerful nor’easter brings one last round of heavy rain & coastal flooding tonight

It's 614 on our Sunday morning and we are talking day two now of this nor'easter which is now basically come to a screeching halt just South of the island. But luckily we are now on the weaker side of this storm, so we're starting to see some improvements after a pretty wild night. A lot of additional trees down, which is knock some power out in spots, but we are just looking at some gusty light showers right now. Light green on your screen, but of course what you can't see on the screen is the wind which I'm going to show you here coming in at about 30 miles per hour in Belmore right now. And these are live wind gusts, so we are occasionally still seeing those at the 40 mile per hour range, but those 5060 mile per hour winds overnight have now pushed into Jersey and the wind threat is going to decrease later on this morning. So that's some good news, but we still have to watch for the high tides today on the South Shore. It won't be as bad as yesterday morning, but on the North Shore we have a similar or perhaps higher high tide to talk about. And then we of course have those downpours coming back later on tonight, but a break from the rain this afternoon. You see the winds are a little bit more manageable now. We do still have showers and we're not talking dry weather or sunshine by any stretch, but these are lighter showers late this morning through the first part of the afternoon. Once you get to three or four o'clock, some of those downpours are coming back, so your best chance for less of a problem kind of weather is going to be late this morning and early this afternoon. So that'd be a time to do the errands because when the evening time comes, it will be raining quite a bit, but at least this time the rain isn't coming with massive wind. It will be breezy, so again with how saturated the ground is, we could see some downed trees even though the wind isn't as bad tonight. Monday morning it's nuisance showers. It's pretty steady showers because that nor'easter is still sitting. Right over us, but the wind is less severe and more of just a nuisance. So that's kind of the. The word of the day for Monday. It's nuisance, not necessarily as severe. Here's your rain all the way through 7 PM today. Manageable, right? It's not that bad, but then it picks up after that and we could get another inch on top of the two inches we've already seen. That's some significant rain. That's a month of rain in a weekend, but we are dry for the work week. Of course, right? But perhaps staying dry on Saturday as well. So maybe some good weather to start off next weekend before yes, some more rain looking likely.
