DAYS 1-5 (OCTOBER 9-13)
\nA storm cut off from the jet stream will do a cyclonic loop south of New England over the next few days, impacting our weather into Saturday, with peak impact Thursday\/Friday when southeastern New England will see its heaviest rain and strongest wind, and also coastal issues with areas of moderate flooding. This system pulls away during the weekend and and westerly air flow returns by Sunday. Highlights of storm impact will be 1-3 inches of rain possible over much of the area, except less in southern NH and pockets of above 3 inches possible in southeastern MA and RI where some flooding may occur. However with recent dry weather and low water levels in rivers, etc. the flooding will not be as bad had we been wetter leading up to this event. Coastal flooding is most likely along east-facing shores and closest to high tide times. Wind impacts will be mainly to old trees, which is often the case around here these days, but this leads to a power outage risk. Wind gusts will be strongest in coastal and southeastern areas. The storm center itself will not be particularly intense, but its the pressure gradient between it and a large high pressure area in southeastern Canada that will create the wind.
