First of all, just rain thats coming our way. Nothing to do with joaquin, a hurricane that well watch potentially have an influence on timeframe.

Most models turn it back towards the United States<\/a> and head, in this case, forecast from the National Weather<\/a> service, making it a category 2 landfalling hurricane near chesapeake bay. One model, which is a very good model, and the one that hit sandy a couple of years ago, the european model. That one says its going to have nothing to do with the United States<\/a> and make a turn to sea. Its been consistent. Whats it seeing that the others arent seeing .

Tomorrow. What will happen is the front thats moving through will stall near the eastern seaboard and eventually this on shore flow will set up. Thats why we struggle to get to 60 tomorrow. That produces periods of rain that will start later tomorrow afternoon, particularly on into tomorrow night. Some of the rain will be heavy at times. Strong easterly wind will get going. That will continue into saturday. Coastal flooding will be a possibility. The rain will continue to saturday. The threat of flooding will continue. Low 50s tonight with a few showers. Tomorrow, the rain gets going later in the day, around 60. Then its raining friday through monday depending on joaquin. 50s to 60s friday, saturday. Not drying out until wednesday. Steve we need it.
