October 13 Coastal Storm Stalled Off The Coast Today With More Wind And Rain Inland

Monday, October 13 2025

Today is ANOTHER Storm Day! Low Pressure is located off the coast of Delaware as part of this complex system expanding along most of the Eastern US. This produced the expected high wind and waves, which has resulted in extensive beach erosion.

While a rare and difficult weather event to forecast, it has done what was expected, with the exception of the rainfall total. Today, the rain will expand inland to include metro areas. This will also include strong and gusty winds that will combine to keep us chilly in the upper 50s.

As the storm moves away, our weather will improve during the week.

Let’s take a look…

Coastal Flooding is still a concern from the Southern Chesapeake Bay to the ocean shoreline.

Surface Weather

There are two areas of Low Pressure off the East Coast. Our focus is on the circulation east of Delaware. This will remain nearly stalled all day as it pumps steady rain across New England, wraps into Pennsylvania, and back down to Maryland.

The next focus will be the cool air mass in the Northern Plains that will arrive mid-week.

RESTATING MY MESSAGE ABOUT DYSLEXIA

I am aware there are some spelling and grammar typos and occasional other glitches. I take responsibility for my mistakes and even the computer glitches I may miss. I have made a few public statements over the years, but if you are new here, you may have missed it: I have dyslexia and found out during my second year at Cornell University. It didn’t stop me from getting my meteorology degree and being the first to get the AMS CBM in the Baltimore/Washington region. One of my professors told me that I had made it that far without knowing and to not let it be a crutch going forward. That was Mark Wysocki, and he was absolutely correct! I do miss my mistakes in my own proofreading. The autocorrect spell check on my computer sometimes does an injustice to make it worse. I can also make mistakes in forecasting. No one is perfect at predicting the future. All of the maps and information are accurate. The ‘wordy’ stuff can get sticky.  There has been no editor who can check my work while writing and to have it ready to send out in a newsworthy timeline. Barbara Werner is a member of the web team that helps me maintain this site. She has taken it upon herself to edit typos when she is available. That could be AFTER you read this. I accept this and perhaps proves what you read is really from me… It’s part of my charm. #FITF
