Ridgewood NJ, the National Weather Service is reporting a hazardous weather outlook is for southern Connecticut, Northeast New Jersey and Southeast New York.
Deepening low pressure is expected to pass south of Long Island Saturday, and east of Cape Cod early Saturday night. The storm will produce locally heavy rain at the onset, which could produce minor urban and poor drainage flooding, and potentially minor flooding along a few quick responding streams and already swollen rivers. As the storm intensifies and tracks east of the area, the rain may end as a period of wet snow in portions of central and eastern Connecticut before ending with only minor accumulation expected. In addition to the heavy precipitation, strong northeast winds will gust to 35 to 45 mph at times, especially along the coast Saturday and Saturday evening. This will also present the potential for minor coastal impacts with the Saturday morning high tides.
