A Spring Nor'easter

A powerful ocean storm is on our doorstep, as it has been raining all day on the Cape and islands. The rain will slowly come north, and then become heavy overnight. The heaviest rain will occur before 11 AM, before tapering off. Once this storm moves away, we are in the clear for a while. The weekend storm looks to head well out to sea.
