From Upton, NY office of the NWS

During the middle of the week the focus will be centered around a 
strong east coastal storm. This storm could bring heavy 
precipitation and strong winds to our local area Wednesday into 
Thursday. However...there is still too much uncertainty this far out 
to attempt to pin down specific impacts. 


The jet stream disturbance that will generate this potential storm 
is over the North Pacific today. The disturbance will reach the 
Pacific northwest on Sunday. At that time...details of possible 
impacts will start to come into focus. Will increase probability of precipitation from 
Wednesday through Thursday...but still remain in chance category. The 
timing will ultimately determine the track and strength of the low 
as well as precipitation amounts and ptype. 


With the local area on the northern side of the storm...a prolonged 
strong east to east-northeast flow will develop as well.
