10/2 CBS2 Friday Morning Weather Headlines

By Giorgio Panetta
CBS2 Chief Meteorologist/Weather Producer

Good morning!

Please take the umbrella out the door today. I don't bean to sound like a broken record, but no one wants to get wet before they go to work. We received a light but steady rain overnight, nothing to really soak up our deficit, but it's welcomed none the less.

Expect showers to strengthen in the afternoon as waves of low pressure push onshore. An inch to two is possible by Saturday afternoon. A Coastal Watch is in effect, as well as a High Wind Watch on the New Jersey coastline. Winds can gust as high as 45 mph.

Now we turn to Joaquin...the trend has been further east, but as models come out today, we will know more. Check in often and watch CBS 2 News to stay in the loop!
