It now appears that the storm will travel far enough north to provide us with a wind-driven rain Friday night and all day Saturday and into Saturday night. Winds may gust past 50 MPH on the cape and 40 MPH elsewhere along the coast. It will clear out Sunday afternoon. The storm is currently just now moving off the coast of the Carolinas, and it is expected to intensify tonight. The storm will be stalled to our south through Friday morning, then as High pressure moves out to sea, the storm will be allowed to move northward. It is not expected to become tropical, but there will be Tropical storm force winds (40 MPH+) along the coast from South Carolina to New Jersey through Friday. Also, there will be gusts over 60 MPH. Those areas will also have 5-8 inches of rain. So, it will have the same effect as a tropical storm would.
