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. Heavy rain will fall at times today with localized flash flooding a threat and winds can gust to hurricane force along coastal sections of New Jersey, Long Island and southern New England. 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.
