DAYS 1-5 (SEPTEMBER 5-9)
\nMinor adjustment in this blog update, slowing the arrival of the cloud shield of Hurricane Dorian, which will continue its track just off the Carolinas (bringing the eastern portions of those states significant impact from wind, coastal flooding, and heavy rain) during today, then accelerating northeastward while losing tropical characteristics Friday-Saturday. The center’s closest pass to New England will be about 200-250 miles southeast of Cape Cod about dawn Saturday. Large ocean swells and rough surf are the certainties. It is likely that rain will get into southeastern areas, with a period of moderate to heavy rain possible Cape Cod & Islands while lighter rain can get back up into the I-95 corridor. This will arrive Friday evening, peak Friday night \/ early hours of Saturday, then clear out quickly around or just after dawn Saturday. The remainder of Saturday will see a gusty north to northwest wind behind the departing storm as high pressure starts to build in. A cold front will pass through the region north to south Saturday night, pretty much without any notice, and high pressure will continue to build in during Sunday and then overhead Monday with some great late summer weather.
