The First Alert Weather Team says to keep an umbrella nearby as rain blows through the area. A “local nor’easter” will howl now all the way through the weekend.

Notes from the meteorologist:

  • A “local nor’easter” will howl now all the way through the weekend.
  • Expect bands of heavy rain at times and gusty winds. Rain will be heaviest closer to the coast, with as much as
    • 2-4”, locally
    • 5”+ from I-95 to the beaches
    • 1-3” Highway 301 to I-95
    • and generally an inch or less, locally 1-2” west of Highway 301.
  • Poor beach conditions with wind gusts of 30+ mph, rough seas and surf, a high rip current risk and some beach erosion.
  • Some flooding will occur at times of high tide for the beaches, intracoastal, St. Johns River and its tributaries.
  • Temperatures will remain mild but with high humidity. Highs will be in the low 80s with lows in the low 70s.

Tropics

  • Humberto and Imelda have become post-tropical ocean storms.
  • Low pressure near Fl. will not likely develop much due to proximity to land + some shear.
  • A tropical wave moving west off Africa has some potential for gradual development.
