Chief Meteorologist Patrick Rockey's First Warning Forecast
We have some wild swings in temperatures on the way, windy weather for Election Day, and even the chance for a tropical system this week!
First, get ready for a windy, cooler Election Day. A cold front moving through will join forces with an area of high pressure over New England and Subtropical Storm Nicole over the Bahamas to bring us windy conditions on Tuesday.
We can expect a northeast wind, 22-30+ miles per hour. Of course, that northeast wind will bring us tidal flooding at times of high tide.
It looks like we could see minor tidal, flooding, which would put a lot of water on many roadways, around 8 o’clock Tuesday morning and 9 o’clock Tuesday night.
Temperatures will warm back into the lower 70s toward the end of the work week, just as the remnants of Nicole move our way.
It’s likely Nicole will bring us a healthy dose of rain on Friday, although our main long range forecast models aren’t in agreement about how much.
What we do know is that the storm should move out early on Saturday morning and most of the weekend will be dry and sharply cooler.
In fact, by Monday, many of us may not even climb out of the 40s for high temperatures!
