Three maybes are on tap for the balance of the weekend beginning with a loose commitment to a Winter Storm coming in the form of a Watch which goes into effect at 8 p.m. this evening and runs through 8 p.m. Sunday. Given our proximity to the ocean, we can drop the Winter and exchange mph for knots and take note of the resulting Storm Watch with a window of 2 a.m. Sunday through 8 p.m. Sunday evening. Swirling around all this speculation is a High Wind Watch which kicks off at 5 a.m. Sunday and closing out along with its cohorts at 8 p.m. Sunday.
Despite all these bells and flashing lights, temperatures look to hover in the mid to upper 30’s with a 5% chance of precipitation through early morning Sunday when a rain/snow mix begins around dawn. The highest probability/guess of precipitation is scheduled to begin mid-morning at which time we’ll see what the Magic Eight Ball and dash of reality has to say.
As a lifelong resident of the outer Cape I was the third generation to pick up the mantel in the family construction business. In my early twenties, I called the Cape my home on weekends as I spent several years working for a variety of off-Cape commercial construction companies. My site supervision resume includes two supermarkets, two HUD projects, a funeral home and a handful of steel industrial buildings as well as various restaurant and office remodels.
