October 3, 2022

Monday Morning Update 

The Ghost of former Hurricane Ian continues now as a stalled Nor’easter off the Mid Atlantic coast. It reformed yesterday and will continue to hit us a little longer with steady rain, gusty winds, and coastal flooding. 

Additional rain totals are still high, and the winds this morning have upgraded the Wind Warning on the Bay Bridge to ‘Limited Restriction”. This means no empty box trailers can pass. We have a look at the live radar and wind forecast below. 

The steady onshore flow has been expected to chomp away with more beach erosion, but it has also led to high water. Let’s start with new flood video:

Flooding In Ocean City Maryland 

 

Wind And Water Advisories

  • Wind Advisory until 2 PM: Western Shore of The Chesapeake Bay. Gusts to 45 mph
  • *Wind Restrictions on the Bay Bridge*
  • Coastal Flood Warning: Ocean Beaches
  • High Wind Warning: Ocean City – Winds Over 50 mph

Morning Surface Weather

The Ghost of Ian continues as a stalled Nor’easter off the coast. This is why the winds will increase, the rain will enhance, and the temps will remain chilly in the 40s to near 50ºF.

*I am storing this in my Atmospheric Memory File for potential repeat in the winter.

Morning Temperatures

Not much movement on the thermometers again today. Plan for a wet day with mid 40s to lower 50s in the afternoon.
