Next week’s storm is shaping up to be a very big problem going forward. A powerful 970-980mb low will rapidly develop as it moves into the Great Lakes running into a 1035-1040mb high pressure system (50-60mb difference) generating a major wind storm. Along with other problems like flooding rainfall of another 2-4 inches or more of rainfall.
I am really starting to worry for our coastal communities come Tuesday Night. You have winds of 60 mph coming straight from the south and east onshore, generating swell 25 feet in the Gulf Stream, and astronomical high tides. That’s very bad news. Significant coastal flooding is in place with this scenario. Major beach erosion and inland flooding are going to be plentiful.
Make preparations now ahead of time for sporadic power outages and dealing with flooding once again.
