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. An occasional shower is possible here this morning and mid-day and could become more numerous late in the day and early tonight. The bigger impact from the intensifying off-shore storm will be the winds which will increase over the next few hours and potentially gust past 40 mph later in the day and also during the night. 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.
