If you haven't heard yet, our own @sarahwroblewski's little boy is going through the unexpected battle of childhood cancer
Please consider lending a helping hand to Sarah and her wonderful family during a tough time ❤️ #wbzgofundme.com/f/thumbs-up-for…
Coastal hazards and winds that could knock out power remain the main issues with this storm. Threshold for limbs and some trees starting to break when fully leafed out is around 40mph or so. Highest risk is closest to the ocean, but will be some issues inland too. #wbz
Wave heights continuing to build out there today. Will peak during the day tomorrow. Shoreline taking a beating this week and we'll see how much sand has been on the move by early next week. #wbz
Will the nor'easter end up getting named Gonzalo? Not out of the question, but I'd wager it wouldn't happen until post-season review
Once the storm gets vertically stacked (surface on up through the atmosphere) over warm-enough water, it will likely switch its structure to a subtropical storm
This isn't particularly unusual this time of year into October...when water is still warm enough to support these hybrid coastal storms
Feels like this question was resolved today. The capture and stall/loop will take place faster offshore of New Jersey, which is slightly better news for us here locally
No big changes but will have all the latest on #wbz this eve
Where the storm gets captured and stalls for a bit still in question as guidance remains far apart on where this will occur
Has some ramifications for our peak winds and their exact angle toward the coast
This has remained the toughest part of the forecast
For most in the area, not thinking it truly fills in until Saturday (could be spitting drizzle/lighter showers overnight Boston -> south
Earlier (Fri late afternoon/eve) toward Cape Cod/Islands
For your particular location/window, thinking drizzle possible but nothing significant yet. Quite windy though
Hi Eric! The only thing I have not heard from various weather reports is exactly what time Friday night the rain is supposed to come in. Specifically, would we be dry in Marshfield from say 6 PM to 11 PM?
Our initial assessment of the damaged section of NC12 near the Pea Island Visitor Center indicates about 500' of undermined and/or broken pavement. As a reminder, NC12 is CLOSED between the Basnight Bridge and Rodanthe. Crews will get a better assessment once the water clears.

Meanwhile, we have another hurricane about to hit Hawaii (Nolo)
2-3 feet of rain are forecast for the Big Island with up to 20" on Maui
Insane year for Hawaii and the tropics thanks to El Nino
