Nor'easter May Clip Cape Cod, South Shore

from WVCB.com
A nor'easter will move up the coast and try to hit eastern Massachusetts on Thursday night/Friday AM..

OK, storms don't actually "try" to get us, but you know what I mean. A wiggle of 50 miles could make the difference between a good golf day and a good surfing day.

This storm would drive forecasters insane if it were in February, as it would produce an impossible rain/snow line to forecast, and Shiri Spear would be like "We may be sunny, we may get showers or we may have a blizzard."

Either way, we're dealing with low stakes. Astronomical tides are low this weekend, and no one is sick of rain by this point or anything. If we got the full brunt of it, though, we could get 3 inches of rain, damaging winds and localized flooding. I'm not calling for that to happen, but I also am a sportswriter by trade.

After this storm, there's a big warm-up ahead. Sunday and Monday will breach the 80s, and it will be in the 90s if you go inland some. So try to endure...

We'll be back with an update if the forecast changes radically.

We're not expecting this, but we don't have any near-miss nor'easter pics.
