The forecast remains on target just how Kira mentioned in the post below. The first batch of widespread rain will continue through around midnight, then there should be a bit of a lull in the showers for a few hours overnight. Then the main component of the storm will intensify an area of low pressure which will track into the mid-Atlantic Saturday. This will bring another round of widespread showers early Saturday morning through late afternoon, with a possible thunderstorm. The showers should begin to taper off around 4PM and then clearing will take place Saturday night.
Besides the rain, wind and mild temperatures will accompany this storm. Like Kira mentioned, the severe threat looks to be a lot less this go around but strong winds still could cause some damage. Wind gusts may exceed 40 mph during the day on Saturday. There is a Wind Advisory in effect from Noon Saturday until Midnight Saturday for the Southern half of Delmarva. Winds be Southerly as the storm tracks well to the west of Delmarva. With the South winds temperatures will keep rising tonight through the 60's and remain in the 60's for Saturday. Some areas away from water, may even reach the upper 60's if the Southerly flow is strong enough. After the storm passes, the winds will switch out of the West and colder air will transport back into the region. Temperatures drop back to the 40's for highs for Sunday and Monday.
On the surf side, the strong South winds will kick up a big and choppy South swell on Saturday but ridable condition return on Sunday with still some sizeable surf for Sunday AM with strong West winds. The strong winds will quickly fade the swell so it won't be around long. Also, don't forget to turn the clocks ahead 1 hour Saturday night. I love daylight savings time, I don't mind losing an hour sleep for longer daylight. Have a great weekend
