A strong storm system moves through overnight and lingers into Friday morning.

The worst part of this will be the powerful gusts, forecast between 40-50 mph. A wind advisory starts at midnight and continues through midnight Friday night. Gusts have the potential to pose problems to powerlines and trees.

The intensity of the rain could be problematic as well. Rain starts overnight but intensifies overnight and during the morning commute, right when the worst of the wind is happening too. This means that downpours will quickly pour between .75-1 inches of rain onto an already wet ground from recent snow.

This could lead to street flooding on top of coastal flooding potentially during the same time. An already laborious commute could easily turn dangerous with the combination of the heavy rain, flooding, and powerful wind.

The worst of the rain is expected to clear out by lunchtime, leaving a few lingering showers possible into early parts of the afternoon. The wind will stick with us, still gusting between 20-40 mph, and it will start to usher in frigid feeling air.

Friday morning temperatures will be in the middle to higher 50s-- potentially record setting-- and nighttime temperatures will crash into the higher 20s.

The additional issue? This is below freezing after ample amounts of rain have fallen in the morning-- meaning any standing puddles or wet spots will easily ice over. So even though it might not still be raining, roads and pavement will be slippery.

Saturday will be cold, but dry. Sunday will see improved temperatures. Breeze will stick with us into the weekend and into next week.
