Another storm will hit us Wednesday Night with high winds
Unlike last weekend with the offshore tropical storm surges and winds. We will only have a windy storm Wednesday. Gale force winds, small craft advisories. Possibly some minor coastal flooding. Winds could reach 50 mph gusts with a lot of rain.
I wouldn’t worry too much and we really need the rain. This storm will be short and sweet with a little punch. Don’t worry about route 1 flooding or anything like we just went through. This will be nothing like last week’s storm. Just be mindful of the possibility of flooding. I would be more worried about flying debris, ponding water on roads, and downed trees taking out power lines.
