April 3 Weather Coastal Storm Retrograde Keeps The Winds Up

Friday April 3 2020

The winds will be gusty again today, and clouds will make a return as a strong storm off of the coast is retrograding. That means it is moving backwards from the normal flow. In this case it is drifting to the south/southwest. But High Pressure is trying to build in from the Midwest. So strong winds remain in between both systems. The result, we could have gusts again over 30 mph.

The wind will ease this weekend and temps will warm. We can still expect a few days into the 70s next week, but there will be more steady rain as soon as Tuesday and Wednesday.

Storm Set Up

This Low Pressure will slip southward along the coast. That should keep the winds gusty and bring in a few shower across the northern zones.
