Finally made it home to New Bedford from my earlier adventure in Fall River. Didn’t really start coming down hard until I got into Dartmouth. Been raining pretty steadily for the last hour or so very windy. Hopefully we don’t lose power. People seem to be driving cautiously, and below the speed limit on the highway. Time to warm up some pizza and chill out for the rest of the night.

Made the effort to get off the couch and go grab a latte and a linguica roll from the The Donut Factory. Yes they’re open. Delivery is available through DoorDash and they also have somebody doing delivery if you wanna place an order but don’t wanna leave the house. Roads are fine. It’s not really raining right now. Just windy a few puddles to avoid but now is the time if you want to get out of the house and grab something before it gets too bad. It’s not the end of the world just yet!

Reminder to be cautious and careful this weekend!

A nor’easter will impact the region through Mon bringing an extended period of strong winds, rough seas, and rain. Winds continue to increase this evening with peak winds tonight-early Sun AM. Rain will continue into Monday and possibly Tuesday.

This nor'easter will bring a prolonged period of NE winds. This in combination with high/rough offshore seas and rain across several high tide cycles will increase the risk for coastal flooding & erosion, especially along the east-facing coastline through Sun.
