Scattered showers linger after some see nearly 6 inches of rain fall in 48 hours -- and StormTeam4NY says Hurricane Earl could indirectly affect some in NYC/LI.
Sunshine returns Thursday and temperatures bounce back into the 80s for the rest of the week. The gorgeous forecast holds through the weekend, with showers not expected to return to the forecast until early next week.Earl has intensified into a hurricane, the second of the Atlantic season, and is expected to become a category 3 storm before passing just east of Bermuda on Friday. There are already tropical storm watches in place.
A few days of persistent east wind puts the tri-state area at a high risk for rip currents, and that is now likely to continue into the weekend as Earl generates big swells the next several days. The beach weather is still expected to be nice later this week, but the rip currents are important to stay aware of, given that many beaches lose lifeguards after Labor Day.
On a similar note, the easterly flow, a full moon late week, and the building swells thanks to Earl could also cause some beach erosion and minor flooding during high tides, especially Fri and Saturday.
