Meteorologist Myles Henderson’s First Warning Forecast
A coastal low lingers along the Mid-Atlantic coast, bringing us rain, wind, and tidal flooding.
Expect widespread rain today, especially in the morning. Heavy downpours and isolated storms are possible, bringing localized flooding and even a stray tornado. Winds will continue to gust to 30+ mph. The persistent NE wind will trigger flooding near times of high tide. The biggest tidal flooding threat will be near high tide this evening (6 pm).
Winds will back down on Wednesday, and the showers will become more scattered. Highs will return to the mid 70s.
Look for more sunshine and a warming trend to end the work week. Clouds will break up and clear out on Thursday with highs in the upper 70s. Highs will reach the low to mid 80s on Friday with mostly sunny skies.
