According to AccuWeather.com, the current forecast time for the system’s arrival is Saturday, September 7. (See first image above.)

According to AccuWeather, a coastal storm is expected to arrive in the region just as the system moves northeast from the northern plains.

Strong rip currents, beach erosion and rough surf are expected along a wide area marked red in the second image above.

“From Pennsylvania, Maryland and New York to New England, it looks like it will be pretty wet over the weekend,” said Tyler Roys, AccuWeather’s senior meteorologist. “In addition to a 12-hour period of wet weather, it’s not impossible that this storm will also bring some heavy downpours.”

According to the National Weather Service, bright blue skies and pleasant weather will prevail in the days leading up to the stormy first half of the weekend.

After the day began with an autumnal feeling on Tuesday, September 3rd, temperatures rise to just over 20 degrees.

Maximum temperatures will be above 24 degrees Celsius on Wednesday 4 September and Thursday 4 September, with sunny weather on both days.

On Friday, September 5, it will be sunny and cloudy, with maximum temperatures between 25 and 27 degrees Celsius.

Clouds will increase Friday evening before showers move in Saturday morning. Thunderstorms are expected in the early afternoon and will continue into the evening.

There are still uncertainties about the exact process and timing of the system merger.
