6:00 AM | ***Significant coastal storm to impact the Mid-Atlantic region from later Saturday into Monday...prolonged onshore flow to bring coastal flooding/beach erosion***

Paul Dorian

Low pressure is going to intensify significantly this weekend near the Southeast US coastline, induced by a frontal boundary zone that slides into the region, and energized by an upper-level trough that drops southeast across the Great Lakes. It appears likely that this strong coastal storm will then push far enough to the north to have an impact on the Mid-Atlantic region all the way from later Saturday into late Monday. The worst impact will be along coastal sections where rain will be heaviest, winds will be strongest, and the threat of coastal flooding/beach erosion will be high due to a prolonged period of onshore flow.

***Significant coastal storm to impact the Carolinas, Mid-Atlantic, and Northeast US from later Saturday into late Monday...prolonged period of onshore flow leads to coastal flooding/beach erosion***

Paul Dorian

Low pressure is going to intensify significantly this weekend near the Southeast US coastline, induced by a frontal boundary zone that slides into the region and energized by an upper-level trough that drops southeast across the Great Lakes. It appears increasingly likely that this strong coastal storm will then push far enough to the north to have an impact on the Carolinas, Mid-Atlantic, and Northeast US all the way from later Saturday into late Monday. The worst impact will be along coastal sections where rain will be heaviest, winds will be strongest, and the threat of coastal flooding/beach erosion will be high due to a prolonged period of onshore flow.

6:00 AM | ***First frost of the season in many spots late tonight...significant coastal storm to impact the Mid-Atlantic region from late Saturday night-to-Monday***

Paul Dorian

Canadian high pressure will take control of the weather today leading to the coolest day so far this fall season and the possibility of the first frost late tonight in many suburban locations. Radiational cooling conditions will be quite good in the overnight hours as high pressure parks overhead and generates clear skies, light winds, and overnight temperatures well down in the 30’s in many areas.

Looking ahead to the weekend, strong low pressure system will form off the Southeast US coastline and produce heavy rainfall and strong winds for the coastal Carolinas including - once again - the Outer Banks of North Carolina. This strong coastal storm system is then likely to push northward to or just off the Mid-Atlantic coastline by later in the weekend...likely resulting in an impactful rain and wind event for the Mid-Atlantic region from late Saturday night-to-Monday.

****Frontal boundary zone to act as a catalyst for a powerful weekend coastal storm...high impact expected in the coastal Carolinas and increasingly likely in the eastern Mid-Atlantic****

Paul Dorian

Low pressure is going to intensify significantly this weekend near the Southeast US coastline, induced by a frontal boundary zone that slides into the region. It appears quite certain that this strong storm will then push far enough to the north to pound away at the coastal Carolinas with heavy rainfall and strong winds...another highly impactful event for the Outer Banks of North Carolina. After that, odds continue to increase that this weekend storm system will then push to the northern Mid-Atlantic coastline - act as a classic Nor’easter - and bring impactful rain and wind to coastal sections for an extended period of time. By early next week, the northward progress of this storm system will likely come to an end as strong high pressure builds across southeastern Canada (“confluence”) acting as a barrier in the atmosphere. As a result, the storm should turn east or it may even loop back around for awhile early next week near the Mid-Atlantic coastline before ultimately pushing out to the open waters of the western Atlantic.

6:00 AM | **Cooler for the remainder of the week...patchy frost late tomorrow night...monitoring weekend coastal storm threat**

Paul Dorian

Lingering showers this morning as a cold front works its way through the region and it’ll turn noticeably cooler for the remainder of the week following the unseasonably warm start on Monday and Tuesday. Canadian high pressure will take control of the weather by tomorrow and it’ll lead to excellent radiational cooling conditions later tomorrow night with clear skies and light winds. As a result, the first frost of the season is possible in many spots by early Friday morning with overnight lows way down in the 30’s.

Looking ahead to the weekend, strong low pressure will form over the western Atlantic Ocean and likely produce heavy rainfall and strong winds for the Carolinas. This system has an increasing chance of impacting the Mid-Atlantic region as well with some heavy rainfall and strong winds, but an “escape” to the east-northeast and away from the Mid-Atlantic coastline is still a scenario that is on the table. The time period of concern for the Mid-Atlantic region for rain and wind would be from Saturday night to Monday.
