We are looking at a big weekend storm. If it were January, February of even early March we might be using the 'B' word. That's right Blizzard. An intense coastal storm will develop Sunday and move of the coast off Norfolk Sunday evening. The storm then moves up the coast to a position off of the northern New Jersey shore Monday morning. As is common in spring the storm will take another 24 to 36 hours to leave us alone. We might even see a wet snowflake in our northern and western suburbs early Monday morning. The main impact for the Metro Area will be heavy rain Sunday into Sunday night. The computer models are cranking out anywhere from 1.75" to over 3" by Monday afternoon. Strong winds will accompany the storm possibly leading to some tidal flooding and beach erosion along the DelMarVa looks like a sure bet. Check the storm drains and your gutters and maybe bring in a little firewood. I know it's April but Sunday will be a perfect day for a fire.
