More rain showers through Saturday

The latest models show Hurricane Joaquin staying off the east coast through the weekend, but it will still create a few onshore winds that will push a number of showers into the east coast and parts of our viewing area.

Temperatures will be running closer to late October levels and we are actually in record daytime high cool territory.

To the north in Canada there is an enormous area of high pressure and to the south there is a low pressure system off Georgia.

Heavy rain is expected to develop Friday and will continue periodically though Saturday and Sunday, according to forecasters with the National Weather Service. The high: 65. MONDAY: With Joaquin expected to remain well out to sea, clouds should break for sun with breezy conditions and an improved high around 70.

Widespread heavy rains are more likely Friday night into Sunday as low pressure approaches the coast. If you’re headed to the NJ, DE, or MD beaches, expect beach erosion, pounding surf, coastal flooding, and strong winds.

This is a constantly changing forecast and features the risk of weather that could have high impacts on our area.

Today: Morning drizzle and light rain.

Friday: Rain. Patchy fog before 11am. Either way, heavy flooding rain will probably occur along the Outer Banks as Joaquin passes by to the east. It will be breezy and cooler with highs in the lower-70s.

Saturday: Mainly cloudy and breezy with passing showers.

Winds will be from the north at 20 km/h in the northwest, 50 km/h in the northeast with a high of 10 C. Cloudy, with a high near 56.

Saturday Night: Rain. The rain could be heavy at times.

Isolated showers are possible early Sunday, but the clouds should be clearing out for the afternoon.
