When to anticipate the rain, wind

TEAM, ESPECIALLY FREYA. 813 TAKE A LIVE LOOK THERE AT THE BOURNE BRIDGE. IF YOU MIGHT BE RUNNING THAT ROAD RACE DOWN IN THE CAPE FALMOUTH AREA. AT LEAST YOU OUTRAN THE RAIN. YOU GOT IT IN BEFORE WE KNOW WHAT’S COMING. CINDY. I KNOW IT’S A MARATHON AND IT STARTED AT 8 A.M., SO HOPEFULLY A LOT OF RUNNERS WILL BE NEARING THE END BEFORE THE RAIN MOVES IN. BUT YEAH, YOU ARE GOING TO NOTICE THE CONDITIONS GOING DOWNHILL WITH THE RAIN AND THE WIND MOVING IN HERE OVER THE NEXT 12 HOURS. THIS IS ALL ASSOCIATED WITH OUR NEXT THREAT, WHICH IS OUR OCTOBER NOR’EASTER, WHICH IS GOING TO PEAK IN THE OVERNIGHT HOURS INTO MONDAY. I KNOW IT IS SUNDAY MORNING. WE’RE IN THE MIDST OF A LONG HOLIDAY WEEKEND, BUT LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT WEEKEND. IT IS LOOKING MUCH NICER, WHICH IS GREAT NEWS FOR THE HEAD OF THE CHARLES REGATTA HAPPENING NEXT WEEKEND. BUT WE HAVE A WEATHER ALERT FOR THIS OCTOBER NOR’EASTER THAT IS GOING TO BRING 1 TO 4IN OF RAIN COMING FROM TODAY INTO TUESDAY. IT’S A SLOW MOVER, SO THAT’S GOING TO BE DRAWN OUT OVER A FEW DAYS. THE WIND OUT OF THE NORTHEAST WILL GUST 50MPH OR HIGHER FOR THE CAPE AND THE ISLANDS, AND THERE WILL LIKELY BE SOME MINOR COASTAL FLOODING AT TIMES OF HIGH TIDE, AND ALSO SOME BEACH EROSION HAPPENING OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HIGH TIDE CYCLES. THERE ARE COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORIES UP ALONG THE COASTLINE. WE MAY SEE UP TO A FOOT OF INUNDATION ON SOME OF THE LOW LYING SHORE ROADS, WHICH WILL LEAD TO SOME MINOR COASTAL FLOODING. KEEP THAT IN MIND. WE’RE WATCHING SEVERAL HIGH TIDES, THE HIGHEST OF WHICH ARE THIS AFTERNOON AND AGAIN ON MONDAY AFTERNOON. SO THOSE ARE THE ONES OF MOST CONCERN THERE. STORM SYSTEM. YOU CAN SEE IT’S PRODUCING RAIN ALL THE WAY UP INTO THE MID-ATLANTIC. BUT THE CENTER OF THE STORM IS STILL WAY DOWN HERE. AND AS IT LIFTS NORTHWARD IT IS RUNNING INTO HIGH PRESSURE. AND THAT’S WHY IT’S SLOWING IT DOWN, KEEPING WAVES OF RAIN GOING ALL THE WAY INTO TUESDAY. IT’S GOING TO BE HARD FOR THIS ONE TO GET OUT OF HERE, BUT IT WILL START TO LOOSEN ITS GRASP ON US BY LATER TUESDAY. BETWEEN THEN AND NOW, YOU CAN SEE THE LOWEST AMOUNTS OF RAIN ARE GOING TO BE OUT IN THE WESTERN PART OF THE STATE. HIGHEST AMOUNTS LIKELY FOCUSED HERE IN SOUTHEASTERN MASSACHUSETTS, WHERE WE ARE GOING TO COMMONLY SEE 3 TO 4IN OF RAIN. AND THERE WILL LIKELY BE SOME SPOTS THAT GET A LITTLE BIT OVER FOUR INCHES OF RAIN. THAT IS A POSSIBILITY. BUT AGAIN, THIS IS FALLING OVER THE COURSE OF ABOUT THREE DAYS. SO I AM NOT OVERLY CONCERNED WITH FLOODING BECAUSE IT’S GOING TO BE SPREAD OUT. BUT ANY POOR DRAINAGE AREAS, YOU NEED TO KEEP AN EYE ON THOSE AND ALSO MAKE SURE THE LEAVES ARE NOT CLOGGING THE STORM DRAINS. YOU CAN SEE THE RAIN RIGHT NOW COMING UP FROM THE SOUTH, JUST STARTING TO MOVE ON TO NANTUCKET, WHERE THE WINDS ARE GUSTING TO 30MPH. THE WIND IS GOING TO RAMP UP AS THE DAY WEARS ON, AND IN BOSTON, WE DON’T GET OUT OF THE 50S TODAY. THAT’S PRETTY MUCH THE DEAL, REGION-WIDE BUT YOU SHOULD BE DRY THROUGH ABOUT 1 P.M. THEREAFTER. THE RAIN IS GOING TO SPREAD ON IN, SO IF YOU HAVE THINGS TO DO OUTDOORS, GO FOR IT. NOW. IT’S GOING TO BE TOUGHER TO DO THAT AFTER LUNCHTIME. YOU CAN SEE HOW THE WINDS ARE COMING UP BY 8:00 THIS EVENING. WE’RE GUSTING 40 TO 50MPH ON CAPE COD, AND THOSE CONTINUE INTO TOMORROW. ELSEWHERE, GUSTS 30 40MPH, ENOUGH TO BRING DOWN MORE OF THOSE LEAVES ALONG WITH THE RAIN. SO THAT IS SOMETHING WE ARE GOING TO BE WATCHING FOR THIS WIND ADVISORY ON THE CAPE AND HIGH WIND WARNINGS ON THE ISLAND GO INTO EFFECT AT 5 P.M., AND IT LASTS THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS ON MONDAY. SO HERE IS THE TIMING FOR YOU. HOUR BY HOUR BY 11:00 THIS MORNING, YOU’RE GETTING INTO THE RAIN HERE ON THE CAPE AND THE ISLANDS, AND THEN IT CONTINUES TO SPREAD NORTHWARD THROUGH EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. IT WILL BE AFTER 2 P.M. THAT THIS RAIN MAKES IT NORTH OF THE PIKE INTO THIS EVENING. AND THEN LOOK HOW THE COLORS CHANGE. WE GET INTO THESE YELLOWS TONIGHT. OVERNIGHT DOWNPOURS, WINDSWEPT, SOAKING RAINFALL INTO TOMORROW MORNING. AND THEN WE WILL CONTINUE TO SEE MORE SCATTERED SHOWERS AT TIMES HEAVY INTO TUESDAY MORNING. AND THEN BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON. THIS IS ALL STARTING TO RAMP DOWN AND WE’RE LEFT WITH JUST SOME SPOTTY SHOWERS AND SOME PATCHES OF MIST AND DRIZZLE. BUT YOU CAN SEE HERE WE GET BACK INTO SOME SUNSHINE ON WEDNESDAY AS THE STORM FINALLY LOOSENS ITS GRASP ON US. COOL, BUT DRY THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK AND THE START OF T
