After a cold front crossed the area on Wednesday, much cooler and less humid conditions are expected for tomorrow. However, this front is likely to stall just offshore of Long Island, which will bring rain back into the area for the rest of the workweek and into the first part of the weekend. Thereafter, the forecast becomes very tricky. As of the 11pm advisory, Hurricane Joaquin is a Category 3 storm located roughly 170 miles east of the Bahamas. As of now, the forecast track of the hurricane is still very uncertain, as the models are still all over the place in terms of a projected path.
At the very least, expect coastal flooding to be an issue for this weekend due to persistent strong northeasterly winds. Flooding from heavy rainfall is also possible, especially since this will be a prolonged period of moderate to heavy rain.
