We may have some rainy weather for this 4th of July weekend. A summary of the National Weather Service briefing regarding the weather disturbance that is currently off of Florida –
” Executive Summary below:
• A series of cold frontal boundaries will move into the region Wednesday-Friday. Tropical moisture moving north is expected to intersect with these boundaries, producing showers and thunderstorms, mainly Thursday afternoon into Friday.
• Showers and thunderstorms could be slow moving with heavy rainfall. Some flash flooding is possible where thunderstorms stall or train over the same regions.
• An area of low pressure now forming off the southeast US coastline is likely to become a tropical system within the next 48 hours according to the National Hurricane Center. The interaction of this system with the aforementioned fronts could lead to an enhanced heavy rain threat.
• There is still some uncertainty with the track of this low pressure system. However, a majority of the data suggests an eventual northerly track to the Carolina coastline before curving northeast off the Mid-Atlantic coastline.
• Depending on the eventual track of this low, winds and tides may be of concern, especially Thursday and Friday.
• Rip currents will also be a major threat throughout most of the July 4th holiday weekend.
• This is NOT Super Storm Sandy. No landfall is expected in New Jersey or Delaware. However…heavy rain, winds, tidal and fresh water flooding, rip currents, and heavy surf are possible as we head into a major holiday weekend.”
