Sunday October 8

Nate made landfall last night as a hurricane but got knocked down to 45 mph winds and a tropical storm today.  The forward speed of 25 mph will bring it in and out of are area a little faster. We already have rain this morning as this storm has interacted with a cold front. But that forward speed brings Nate farther north before the front can shift it east. The net track will take the core Low just west of Maryland but the strongest winds remain on the east or right side of the Low. Some local flooding is possible, but note the heaviest rain will be west of metro Baltimore and DC. Here is a breakdown of the timing for the rain and wind.

First the radar and the simulation for rain today. Below is more about Nate and the track our way Monday:

Forecast Animation

Notice the Low tracks just west of Maryland and into New England. This shift to the west is due to the it moving so fast.

Notes:

  • Worst conditions through noon Monday, improving after the Low passes
  • A winter storm with heavy snow is  expected in Denver, Co.
  • As the front lingers, that system will send more rain our way by Thursday.
