The Bottom Line
This fall, weekend weather has been pretty awful. For the last five weekends in a row (since September 9-10), we have seen measurable rainfall in New Jersey. And it is becoming clear that our upcoming weekend will follow the trend, making it six in a row...
Snow and ice! Doom and gloom! There are clues about what's ahead this winter, but too many forecasters (and fakers) stretch the science of meteorology too far.
As the remnants of Ophelia slowly pass through New Jersey, inclement weather and the threat of coastal flooding will extend into the start of the workweek.
The first weekend of fall will be an inclement one, as New Jersey braces for several rounds of heavy rain, 50+ mph wind gusts, and moderate coastal flooding.
The newly upgraded tropical storm is spinning about 400 miles south of New Jersey as of Friday afternoon, and will be a big weekend rain, wind, and wave maker.
