Coastal storm possible Thursday to Friday night: rain, wind, track uncertain

Local TV and weather outlets said a low-pressure system could form near the Mid-Atlantic coast and bring widespread rain, gusty winds and possible coastal flooding from Thursday into Friday night. CBS Philadelphia described rain on Thursday and rain with wind on Friday. NBC Boston said some models bring the center close to southern New England, with north-northeast gusts of 30 to 40 mph, mainly at the coast. Weather.com said other models keep the storm farther offshore, which would mean lighter rain, weaker coastal wind and snow inland. The Capital Weather Gang said a major storm is unlikely around Washington, with wet snow possible only above about 3,000 feet in western Maryland and West Virginia, and temperatures 7 to 10 degrees below normal into the weekend. This is a forecast; no NWS watch or warning was found. Totals and track may change.
