Strong southerly winds are expected again today. Sustained speeds will run at 20 to 30 mph with gusts to 40 mph.
Persistent strong southerly winds will lead to water piling up along the coast and into coastal waterways, with minor coastal flooding expected during times of high tide through today. Water levels are expected to reach between 1.5 and 2.0 feet mean higher high water, which could lead to flooding of roads, parks and lots.
Strong southerly winds and high seas will result in rough and hazardous weather conditions for small craft, and a Small Craft Advisory is in effect through at least 7 AM Saturday.
A storm system consisting of a cold front and robust upper level trough will bring an Enhanced Risk for severe storms to much of the area on Saturday. The best chance for severe storms looks to be during the afternoon and evening hours although this timing may change as this system draws closer.
A storm system crossing the area Saturday will bring widespread showers and thunderstorms. Convection will be capable of producing heavy rain leading to flash flooding. A Slight Risk (level 2 out of 4) or at least a 15% chance for Excessive Rainfall that may lead to flash flooding is in the forecast for much of the area with the remainder in a Marginal Risk (level 1 of 4, or at least a 5% percent chance). Turn Around Don't Drown!!
