The National Weather Service has issued a coastal flood watch Sunday into Monday for the possibility of minor to moderate flooding on the Sound.

There will be widespread rainfall and strong winds. More details to come as the forecast gets fine-tuned over the next day.

In the meantime, the weather will be cold and frosty for the morning commute. Highs Friday afternoon will rise into the lower 60s. Saturday will be warmer with a change in wind direction.
