Discussion
A nor’easter will intensify off the southern New England coastline today and then it’ll take a loop back towards Long Island later tonight which will prolong its impact around here into tomorrow morning. Occasional showers are likely here today and tonight and the winds will increase as the off-shore storm intensifies. Another low pressure system can have an impact around here later in the week as energy from yesterday’s west coast storm reaches the eastern seaboard.
