Northeast Quiet Week, Stormy Weekend Along Gulf
Good afternoon everyone. We continue to watch a quiet period this week for much of the East Coast and much of the Gulf and Midwest. However, quiet weather will turn quickly along the Gulf and Southeast this weekend as a low pressure emerges from the lower Rockies and takes the southern route.
We’re not expecting this vigorous storm to impact the Northeast is any way aside from maybe some increased surf. Other than that, this will all be on the Gulf States and Southeast Coast to deal with. The timeline remains late Friday/earlySaturday through early Tuesday from west to east as low pressure taps that Gulf energy and heads off of the Southeast coast for a windy finale. Again, we’re not expecting this to move up the coast, but areas such as coastal GA, SC, and NC, could see some impacts as far as wind, coastal flooding, beach erosion, big surf, and rain action.
The other impact will be severe weather with an increased risk of tornadic storms and areas that simply don’t need anymore rain. For this reason, we will be watching closely for the high risk of flash flooding as well, especially in the Texas and the Gulf States.
