Norโeaster continues to slowly unwind, flood waters the last to fade away
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. โ Coastal and tidal waterways really have seen the worst of it with the intracoastal as flooded as we have seen without a hurricane. High tide flooding will fade but only slowly with some areas likely to still flood for the next week. Biggest tides were on Sunday with Saturday, Monday and Tuesday a very close second, third and fourth. Highest winds were on Monday, with many locations seeing wind gusts to 40 mph. The highest gust was on Saturday with a peak gust of 49 mph at Marineland.
Record breaking tropics and nothing heading to Jacksonville but a strong norโeaster this weekend
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. โ Massive autumn high pressure to dominate the eastern United States this weekend, sounds great, except if you live along the coastline of Georgia into Central Florida. With a super-sized high pressure to our north and general lower than normal air pressure all around Jacksonville. So, thatโs high pressure north and low pressure to the south, the greater the difference, the greater the coastal winds. There will be also be a possibility of another coastal tropical low pressure that could form within the battle field of high and low pressure. Wilfred will likely develop from TD #21 in the far, far, far eastern Atlantic Ocean.
