The storm that is developing over the Atlantic Ocean will bring gusty wind, but not a lot of rain, our way tomorrow into Tuesday. It looks like many of us could stay dry the entire time, but a strong easterly wind, combined with cool temperatures, will make it uncomfortable to be outside.
Temperatures will struggle to get into the low 50s tomorrow, due to a lot of clouds and the strengthening wind. We'll start the day with a 15-25 mph breeze, and as the storm intensifies, we should see the wind gust over 30 mph almost everywhere. The strongest winds will be near the coast - where we could see gusts over 40 mph for a few hours late tomorrow. It doesn't appear that the wind will be strong enough to cause widespread damage.
The wind will be even stronger in the waters off our south coast. A Gale Warning is in effect for winds of 25-35 kt, with gusts to 45 kt. Eastern facing shores may see some minor splash-over at the time of high tide tomorrow night and early Tuesday. Widespread coastal flooding doesn't look like a major concern.
The storm will drift away from us on Tuesday afternoon, and much better weather is likely by Wednesday.
