Likely Coastal Storm A Slow Mover

As now the modeling has depicted for the last several runs, a coastal crawler will slowly meander in the Mid-Atlantic for several days creating rather damp and dreary conditions right through the week's end.  The timing is not good for most as this is the lone fall holiday weekend in celebration of the discovery of the new world...quickly evolving into the present old world...but I digress and will refrain further from any political commentary.  Here is the Euro temps and precip for the next 10 days...a solid 3.5" rain filled time...and temps remaining in the 50s for some time!  Rainy and raw...

The Mid-Atlantic precip map shows a wider view of the Euro's bullish precip amounts...through Monday morn...

...and a day by day analysis of the Euro starting today in the upper left panel and ending Sunday in the lower right panel...

The GFS, while not as wet, is still showing plenty of precip in these parts...

But maybe the real wx worry will lie with beach interests as the tight pressure gradient will slam the coast with gales from Long Island to Hatteras for a prolonged period...look at the peak wave activity as shown by the Wave Watch model...

...oh yeah, that's right...non-essential....sorry, but I digressed once again!  Trust me, big water along the coast this weekend with a long, stiff NE fetch!  But the wx in St. Louis tomorrow evening will be awesome for the Pirates to clinch the NLDS and move onto the NLCS vs the Dodgers!  Clear skies and temps falling through the low 60s during the division series clinching game!  Go Bucs!

OK...gotta roll and listen to the A's clinching game over the Tigers!  Enjoy this all-time baseball classic!

And enjoy your mid-week!

AA:  Looks like rain will be a main-stay Wed pm through the weekend!
