FORECASTER BERG
Still going to be interesting to see how all this plays out with fred. I have talked with some other people tonight of this storm and what it could do. Most thing there will be a slim chance for Fred once he gets out of the shear and into a better area to reform into anything. Gonna have to wait and see however. I still do not trust it.
Now for the big news. Yellow Circle in the GOM!!
2. A SURFACE TROUGH NEAR THE TEXAS COAST IS INTERACTING WITH A MID- TO
UPPER-LEVEL LOW TO PRODUCE DISORGANIZED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
OVER THE NORTHWESTERN GULF OF MEXICO. UPPER-LEVEL WINDS ARE
EXPECTED TO REMAIN UNFAVORABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM AS IT
REMAINS NEARLY STATIONARY DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. THERE IS
A LOW CHANCE...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT...OF THIS SYSTEM BECOMING A
TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS. REGARDLESS OF
DEVELOPMENT...LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL IS POSSIBLE ALONG THE GULF
COAST FROM NORTHEASTERN MEXICO TO LOUISIANA OVER THE NEXT DAY OR
TWO.
Next 48hrs is gonna be the key with this. As I said earlier in the week the GFS said of this and could take it into Ala and or Fla. Some forecast it to move more to the NE. again wait and see, but my gut is saying more to the north if anything.
Now for the NE. 2 words Wet and windy.
1. SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY CONTINUES IN ASSOCIATION WITH A
NON-TROPICAL AREA OF LOW PRESSURE LOCATED JUST EAST OF THE
MID-ATLANTIC COAST. DEVELOPMENT INTO A TROPICAL OR SUBTROPICAL
CYCLONE IS NOT EXPECTED DUE TO UNFAVORABLE UPPER-LEVEL WINDS. THERE
IS A LOW CHANCE...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT...OF THIS SYSTEM BECOMING A
TROPICAL OR SUBTROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS. HEAVY
RAIN...GUSTY WINDS...AND MINOR COASTAL FLOODING ARE POSSIBLE ALONG
PORTIONS OF THE MID-ATLANTIC COAST OVER THE NEXT DAY OR SO. FOR
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION...PLEASE REFER TO PRODUCTS ISSUED BY LOCAL
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OFFICES IN THE REGION AND HIGH SEAS
FORECASTS ISSUED BY THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE...UNDER AWIPS
HEADER NFDHSFAT1 AND WMO HEADER FZNT01 KWBC.
Some have called this NONTROPICAL some Say NOR'ESTER I call it a More Pisser than anything. this is that same system that dumped all the rain in NC and Va earlier in the week. the NWS In Mount Holly NJ

THE PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN HIGH PRESSURE TO THE NORTH AND LOW
PRESSURE JUST OFF THE VIRGINIA COAST WILL CONTINUE TO LEAD TO
STRONG...GUSTY NORTH TO NORTHEAST WINDS OF 20 TO 30 MPH...WITH
GUSTS TO 35 MPH TONIGHT.
AS A RESULT...ABOVE NORMAL TIDES CONTINUE WITH WATER LEVELS
1.5 TO 2 FEET ABOVE NORMAL. THESE DEPARTURES MAY RESULT IN MINOR
FLOODING AROUND THE TIMES OF HIGH TIDE.
HERE ARE THE TIMES OF TONIGHTS HIGH TIDES: OCEAN CITY...12:22 AM.
IN ADDITION...A HIGH RISK OF RIP CURRENTS CONTINUES THROUGH
FRIDAY EVENING FOR THE OCEAN CITY BEACHES. ALSO...WAVES IN THE
SURF ZONE CONTINUE TO BE AROUND 7 TO 9 FEET...AND WILL CONTINUE
TO BE THROUGH MIDNIGHT. THE HIGH SURF WILL LEAD TO LOCALIZED
BEACH EROSION.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY INDICATES THAT ONSHORE WINDS AND TIDES
WILL COMBINE TO GENERATE FLOODING OF LOW AREAS ALONG THE SHORE.
A HIGH SURF ADVISORY MEANS THAT HIGH SURF WILL AFFECT BEACHES IN
THE ADVISORY AREA...PRODUCING RIP CURRENTS AND LOCALIZED BEACH
EROSION.
A HIGH RISK OF RIP CURRENTS MEANS WIND AND OR WAVE CONDITIONS
SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF DANGEROUS RIP CURRENTS...ESPECIALLY IN
THE VICINITY OF JETTIES...PIERS AND SANDBARS. RIP CURRENTS ARE
LIFE-THREATENING TO ANYONE WHO ENTERS THE SURF. BE ESPECIALLY
CAUTIOUS WITH OUTGOING TIDES WHICH IMPROVE RIP CURRENT FORMATION.
ALL BEACH GOERS SHOULD REMAIN AWARE OF INHERENT DANGERS WHEN
ENTERING THE SURF INCLUDING SWIFT LONGSHORE CURRENTS...POUNDING
SHORE BREAK AND SHALLOW SAND BARS.
RIP CURRENTS ARE STRONG...NARROW CHANNELS OF WATER THAT FLOW OUT
TO SEA. IF YOU BECOME CAUGHT IN A RIP CURRENT...REMAIN CALM. TRY
TO SWIM ON A COURSE THAT IS PARALLEL TO THE BEACH UNTIL YOU GET
AWAY FROM THE RIP...THEN SWIM AT AN ANGLE IN TO SHORE. DO NOT TRY
TO SWIM BACK TO SHORE DIRECTLY AGAINST THE RIP...SINCE IT CAN
EXHAUST AND EVEN KILL THE STRONGEST SWIMMER.
ALWAYS HEED THE ADVICE OF LIFEGUARDS. PAY ATTENTION TO FLAGS AND
SIGNS POSTED NEAR BEACH ACCESS POINTS AND LIFEGUARD STATIONS.
Needless to say I do not think that I will be doing any boating in the next day or so.
But all joking aside here. Be it a Nor'easter or a non tropical system it is still going to make this slick wet and windy for Friday. Also Would not doubt if as this system starts to really fire up which I feel it will do now that the NHC has it back in yellow, Anywhere from DE up into Canada best be on the lookout for some rips, very high surf. Rain and wind. better known as there goes the weekend. Once again.
