... Remnants of Ernesto heading up the eastern Seaboard may cause
some problems across the tri-state region this Holiday weekend...
Currently... the center of Tropical Depression Ernesto was located
about 55 miles west-southwest of West Palm Beach Florida. The
depression is moving toward the north and this general motion is
expected to continue for the next several days. Such a movement...
according to the National Hurricane Center... is expected to bring
the remnants of Ernesto up across the mid Atlantic states Thursday
night through Friday night and then into Pennsylvania during
Saturday.
Since the tri-state region will become sandwiched between a very
strong high pressure system centered over southeastern Canada and
the remnants of Ernesto moving northward along the coastal
plain... winds will begin to pick up across our area as early as
Friday. Winds by Saturday may be gusting between 30 and 35 mph.
These winds will be from the northeast Friday and then gradually
shift around to the southeast during Saturday. This onshore flow
will likely pile water up along our coast. As such... tidal
departures will rise and we may be looking at some minor to locally
moderate coastal flooding beginning as early as the high tide cycle
Friday afternoon. The more likely cycle to see problems will be
Saturday afternoon.
In addition... seas will build and become quite rough... conditions
ideal for the development of dangerous rip currents. The rough surf
would also offer a threat of splash-overs and beach erosion...
especially along the South Shore of Long Island.
In addition... rain preceding Ernesto may edge into our region Friday
night and become heavy at times during Saturday. If heavy rains do
occur across the area... we may be looking at some widespread urban
and small stream flooding. Flooding along our larger rivers would be
a possibility as well.
Residents of the tri-state region... especially coastal residents and
mariners should continue to monitor the latest forecast and plan
your activities this Holiday weekend accordingly.
