What a wild night it is on the east coast!!!
Yours truly has a friend named Trisha who now lives down in Virginia Beach, and from what we're hearing, it rained the entire day out there on Wednesday.
Unfortunately, it looks like Trisha and everyone else from New Jersey to the Carolinas will not be catching a break today.
Just for VA Beach alone, there's a Coastal Flood Warning, High Wind Warning, Flood Watch, and High Surf Advisory, ALL IN EFFECT until Friday night or Saturday morning! It's the same story in North Carolina, the Tidewater of Virginia, and the Delmarva peninsula as well as New Jersey.
For those areas, they won't get out of this mess until Friday...and by then we could very well have millions of dollars of damage done all along the east coast between coastal and river flooding ALONE, not to mention incidental losses from the high winds of 40-65 mph (e.g., spoiled food at grocery stores and schools, trees on buildings, things like that).
The nor'easter is not moving very fast...consequently, this could be a historic event for the areas mentioned. I don't see the storm moving away from the coast or impacts lessening until Saturday.
For the Tri-State...there remains not very much to talk about. We look to remain dry through about Monday night - a 50 percent chance of rain arrives for Tuesday.
Forecast: Today: Sunny, relatively pleasant for Nov. 12. High: 58.
Tonight: Clear, chilly. Low: 39.
Friday: Sunny, a tad warmer. High: 61.
Currently at 4:00 AM 11/12/09: Fair, 38 degrees. Wind chill is 32
