Ernesto coming ashore with almost Hurricane force this evening.

 

It appears that it may head a bit further east than first thought. Still looking at a good 3-6"+ with isolatead 10"+ amounts. The storm will be a bit stronger than first anticipated so some gust winds tomorrow and areas on teh immediate coastal plain. Please monitor these 2 threads for the latest on the Tropical System and the Flooding Threat: Flood Threat: http://www.midatlanticweather.com/bb3/index.php?topic=1244.0

Please DO NOT DRIVE THROUGH FLOOD WATERS! The eventual track could be a curve as it runs into a strong blocking high to the north. This High will be the key in precip amounts. I would say that areas would be dealing with a huge winter storm if the time of year was right =)

 

Stay tuned to news and weather outlets for warnings.

FLOODING RAINS AND SEVERE WEATHER LIKELY

FLOODING RAINS AND SEVERE WEATHER LIKELY

I hope you have been reading www.midatlanticweather.com and seen my concerns on the coming flooding rains over the next few days! As Tropical Storm Ernesto (I suspect he will be upgraded to Tropical Storm within hours of re-emerging off the coast of Florida) moves up the coast, a High Pressure will also provide a fetch of moisture off the Atlantic. Needless to say the combination will prove extremely wet and we will see very heavy rainfall. To the east of the Circulation Severe weather will likely occur with some tornadoes possible. All in all 5- 10" of rain is possible, especially across the Flood plains, River Flooding is anticipated as well as some Flash Flooding!

PLEASE STAY ALERT to the weather and DO NOT DRIVE THROUGH FLOOD WATERS!
