Hurricane Joaquin Update – Oct 2, 2015

Good news to report regarding Hurricane Joaquin – since yesterday, forecast models have arrived at a much clearer consensus regarding the track of Joaquin once it leaves the Bahamas – and the resulting forecast track takes it well east of the US East Coast.

This means we will luckily miss any severe impacts from a landfalling tropical cyclone. However, with Joaquin to the south and a ridge of high pressure to the north, continuous onshore northeasterly winds will still present moderate coastal flooding issues. Temperatures will likewise remain cool under the clouds and onshore flow, with rain expected to continue from today until Saturday. Lingering showers may persists on Sunday.
