The area of high pressure (which set up shop over the Mid-Atlantic States for the last couple of days) will begin to drift to the south and weaken as the day progresses. While the region waits for an approaching cold front to later tomorrow, expect mostly sunny skies early with hot humid conditions (and a little more cloud cover this afternoon). Highs will reach the lower 90s.

Clouds will continue to develop tonight as the front inches closer. A few showers may pop-up far west late evening but a better bet for showers and storms will be from tomorrow morning through the afternoon with passage of the cold front. Beautiful conditions will arrive just in time for the Labor Day weekend. We’ll see lots of sunshine Saturday and Sunday with highs in the upper 70s to around 80. Labor Day itself will remain nice and dry with highs in the middle 80s. Warmer temperatures look to continue through midweek.

As far as Hurricane Earl, it’s currently a monster Category 4 storm churning around 400 or so miles east of Jacksonville, Florida (sustained winds around the eye is hovering around 145 mph as of this writing). The current forward movement has shifted to the northwest between 15-20 mph. The forecast continues to push the possible track of Earl closer to the Carolina coastline. The latest forecast has the eye just missing the Outer Banks (NC) to the east during the pre-dawn hours tomorrow. The eye could be less than 100 miles from the coastline so while landfall may not occur, it will still be a very dangerous time for the Carolina and Virginia coastline. ***As always, any little jog to the east could makes things much the hurricane is expected to move parallel to the east coast where it’ll be east of the New Jersey shore by Friday afternoon (and expected to be a little farther out to sea). The forward motion will increase as the storm itself gets caught up in the westerlies and could be just off Cape Cod, MA by early Saturday morning (where the eye might just be closer in distance than the Outer Banks). Farther southeast, Tropical Storm Fiona is drifting in the open Atlantic but could be affecting Bermuda by early Saturday and to add insult to injury, Tropical Storm Gaston is also brewing in the Atlantic but for now, it’s so far out in the Atlantic, it’s a fish-storm for now.

College football starts tonight!!!
