July 4th Weather
We never want to see a situation likpatagonia zappose we did in New Bedford with almost 8 inches of rain. That is WAY too much rain at one time. A lot of our viewing area was a little more fortunate, with rainfall generally between 2 and 4.5 inches. (That still a lot in one day!)
So what is the silver lining ipatagonia better sweater 1 4 zipn the Friday rain? It did bring some much needed rainfall to a lot of lawns and gardens, which really needed it. The graphic belowpatagonia better sweater 1 4 zip - men's uses rainfall since June 1 at TF Green Airport. Notice how we turned a deficit into a surplus! Pete Mangione
Baspatagonia down sweater discounted on radar intensity and what has fallen already, we are now expecting between 3 and 6 inches of rain for our area. Many areas have already picked up more than 2 of rain, including New Bedford where there have been numerous reports of flooded roadways. At one point there was more than 2600 NSTAR customers without power in that city. Rain will continue to work its way northward through the evening and into early Saturday morning.
Here what to expect the rest of today.
Arthur continues to work its way northeastward and will make its closest approach to Southern New England early Saturday morning passing aboupatagonia better sweater pantst 50miles southeast of Nantucket.
The impacts of Arthur really patagonia better sweater jacket tealstarted to get going this afternoon Flash Flood Warning is in effect for Providence, Warwick, Cranston, and for portions of Kent, Washington, and Providence County. Here was the scene on RADAR earlier.
Arthur is still a category 1 storm with winds of 90 mph. You can see it has started to merge with the front moving over our area.
Arthur will remain offshore and make his closest pass late tonight will give us some heavy rain before that happens. Look for showers and downpours to continue until 9 or 10PM. If he speeds up, we may be able to get them out of here a little sooner. It may get windy tonight with gusts around 3o mph, so some isolated wind damage is possible. But our main threat will be street flooding, please don drive through flooded roads. More updates soon. Pete Mangione
While we will get high surf and rip currents here in Rhode Island and Bristol County Mass, the biggest impacts will come in the form of rain. In fact, we have already seen some downpours and thunderstorms this morning. Here is a snapshot from 9AM.
A Flash Flood Watch starts at noon and goes through tonight. 1 3 inches possible with higher isolated amounts. Some localized street flooding is possible. Please turn around if you spatagonia down jacket reviews0ee any flooded roads people are in their cars when they get in trouble during flash floods. More updates later this morning. Pete Mangione
As of early this morning, Arthur is a Category 2 Hurricane with winds of 100 mph. It is moving to the northeast at 22 mph. After sweeping over the outer banks of North Carolina, Arthur will move back into the ocean. As this happens, Arthur may increase in strength a little, but the overall trend will be to weaken by the time he makes his closest pass to southern New England. That being said, he likely still be a Category 1 hurricane as he makes his closest pass tonight.
Rain with some heavy downpours, especially from the afternoon into the evening. The morning may end up with a decent amount of rain free time. Localized streepatagonia men's r1 fullt flooding is possible in isolated areas by afternoon and evening.
High surf and dangerous rip currents, especially out into Cape Cod. The rip currents may last into Saturday and Sunday as well.
Gusty winds tonight (25 35 mph). Some isolated wind damage is possible, but keep in mind that these wind speeds are not that uncommon women's patagonia rover shoes size 6 brand newhere in southern New England.
The evening update from the National Hurricane Center still shows Hurricane Arthur with wpatagonia down jacket reviews1inds of 90 mph, movement to the northeast at 13 mph. The center is still expected to miss us offshore, but the forecast now has the path close enough for a Tropical Storm Warning to be issued for Cape Cod and the surrounding waters.
This means that it will be especially dangerous for boaters out toward the Cape and Islands. It won be quite as bad across the Rhode Island shore, but some high surf and dangerous rip currents are likely late Friday into Saturday (pospatagonia down jacket reviews2sibly in Sunday as well).
As Arthur makes his closest pass late Friday night, winds will pick up. Damaging winpatagonia down jacket reviewsds should be confined to the outer Cape, with Rhode Island and most of Bristol County Mass getting winds that are not quite as strong.
This will be a very brief update. The first afternoon data just came in from the National Hurricane Center. Here are the stats:
2PM: Winds 90 mph (Category 1 Hurricane)
The storm is just offshore from South Carolina. The new path still takes it offshore of southern New England, but close enough to create dangerous rip currents and high surf into the weekend. As for tropical storm force winds, that should stay well east of Rhode Island, but could happen on Nantucket and on portions of the out Cape.
A front that sweeps just ahead of Arthur (and grabs some of its moisture) will bring some heavy rain for the 4th of July, especially for the afternoon. Localized street flooding will be the primary concern.
In the meantime, some occasional strong T storms are possible this afternoon and evening. However, much of the time will be rain free. More updates coming this evening. Pete Mangione
Arthur Could be a Category 2 Hurricane as it Hits the Outer Banks
July 3rd, 2014 at 12:11 pm by Michelle Muscatello under General Talk, Tony s Pinpoint Weather Blog
Nepatagonia everlong review 10w information in from the National Hurricane Center shows that Hurricane Arthur continues to intensify. As of 11am, sustained winds had reached 90mph with gusts up to 115mph. Outer rain bands were working their way on shore in North Carolina and the storm is now forecast to reach Category 2 status as it hits the Outer Bankspatagonia down jacket reviews3 of North Carolina tonight. Meanwhile the storm is still expected to track 50 100miles off shore, with heavy rain and rip currents the main impacts in southeastern New England. Timing remains on track with the heaviest of the rain Friday afternoon and evening.
In the short term, hot, humid air and hazy sun are helping to fuel thunderstorms popping up along and ahead of a slow moving cold front. The storm prediction center is highlighting parts of western and central New England as areas that could see more severe thunderstorms this afternoon and evening.
Heavy rain, frequent lightning and damagin winds are the main concerns with these storms today. If you are planning on outdoor activities today and tonight, keep an eye to the sky for changing weather conditions as our area could see a few isolated strong storms, too. Most of the day should stay dry, though.
New data in from NOAA and Hurricane Hunter Aircraft indicate that Hurricane Arthur has strengthened further this morning with sustained winds near 80mph and gusts to nearly 100mph.
Additional strengthening is expected through the day as the storm moves northeast towards the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Our computer models continue to indicate that Arthur stays well southeast of RI and Southeastern MA.
