The first weekend of fall will be an inclement one, as New Jersey braces for several rounds of heavy rain, 50+ mph wind gusts, and moderate coastal flooding.
The newly upgraded tropical storm is spinning about 400 miles south of New Jersey as of Friday afternoon, and will be a big weekend rain, wind, and wave maker.
First raindrops are still about 36 hours away, but an extended period of heavy rain, gusty winds, and rough surf looks likely for New Jersey this weekend.
While the weather forecast turns comfortable and pleasant, Hurricane Lee will churn up the surf along New Jersey's coast and deliver minor weather impacts.
