Significant Flooding for Seacoast, but Warming Trend Coming for Most!

Good morning atmosphere audience! While I’ve been quiet here for a bit, weather never sleeps, as I’ve been doing plenty of research, forecasting, and prepping to be more active with future posts. It’s kind of like a watch you haven’t worn in a while. It may be in your drawer, but it’s still telling accurate time. I want to quickly jump on here with details on a significant rain event for the Seacoast later today into tomorrow morning, highlight a well-needed warming trend (I’m not all bad news), and a heads-up for a possible brief big uptick in global earthquake activity. 

Ok let’s talk timing, totals, and track on this major rain event. A strong front moving eastward off the coast literally drenching the Seacoast. For those in the tri-state area, you’re high and dry with this event. However, from Weymouth to Wolfeboro, and the Seacoast, a significant flooding rainfall is headed in your direction. From south to north and eventually rotating out of the east, rain begins late this morning to early afternoon across eastern Mass to southern NH and SE Maine. This train of rain will intensify becoming steady and heavier into the afternoon and throughout the entire evening, tapering off tomorrow morning. A literal fire hose of flooding downpours, totals could reach anywhere from 2 to as much as 4 inches! Sea modeled totals in track below. Expect a slow evening commute!

Warming Trend, Finally!

After a cool start to May, April and for most of the winter for that matter,  a much needed warming trend for the entire Northeast begins this weekend! A gorgeous Saturday and Sunday is on tap as temps climb into mid to upper 70s on Saturday,  rising to the low 80s on Sunday. Warmer temperatures continue into next week, especially across the tri-state area where times could spike into the upper 80s to low 90s.

Quick QuakeReMarks Update:

Large Earth facing coronal with possible solar wind along with a growing active sunspot could lead to a brief uptick in magnitude 6.5 or greater global quake(s) over next couple of days. Let’s see. Auroras are possible too, but I’ll be back here if so.

That’s it for now. I’ll be back over the weekend on my outlook for the upcoming Memorial Day weekend, the rest of May and into June. I’ll give my initial thoughts on the tropics as well. Don’t be surprised for an early season tropical storm brewing in the Gulf in the coming weeks. Drive safe, stay dry and remember, weather never sleeps.
