Forecasters Track Strong Cold Front and Coastal Low for Late Week

Overview

• Showers from the weekend are ending and many areas are turning sunnier but breezy with gusts commonly 25–35 mph.
• Forecasts call for a strong cold front and a redeveloping coastal low late in the week, with the main window for rain and strong winds concentrated Thursday into Friday.
• Higher elevations of northern New England could see a transition from rain to snow as colder air arrives, while coastal areas face the highest risk of heavy rain and strong onshore gusts.
• River Flood Warnings remain in effect along the St. Johns River in Central Florida because runoff from earlier heavy rains is keeping water levels elevated.
• Forecasters emphasize model disagreement and timing uncertainty, saying small shifts in the storm track will determine who sees the worst coastal winds, where heavy rain leads to flooding, and where temperatures drop enough for mixed or wintry precipitation.
