Chief Meteorologist Patrick Rockey's First Warning Forecast
We are tracking some really messy weather on the way for part of the weekend, including plenty of rain and wind and the threat for tidal flooding.
Friday and Saturday are looking dry and milder. But the clouds will start to roll in on Saturday, ahead of an area of low pressure from down south.
Our main longer-range forecast models are both painting in plenty of rain and wind on Sunday. But the GFS model brings the rain in earlier and keeps it around longer on Monday. The European model is a little less aggressive.
But both forecast models are suggesting we'll get another good dose of rain, which should help with our drought situation.
Gusty winds will also be an issue. The GFS model is hinting at wind gusts north of 50 mph. That could lead to flooding at times of high tide Sunday and into Monday.
Once this system passes, the rain will end pretty quickly and we're looking at another cool and mainly dry week. Stay tuned.
