***TROPICAL STORM WATCH IN EFFECT FOR THE COASTLINE***

Another hazy, hot and humid day underway with temperatures pressing into the low to mid 90s. A few clouds will cross the Canadian boarder this afternoon as a cold front slowly creeps near. Several showers will fall from the clouds especially up to the north and west, but for the most part it will be a rain free day.

After today, all eyes will be focused on Hurricane Earl. As of this morning, Earl strengthened into a category 4 storm with winds sustained near 140mph. Hurricane and Tropical Storm warnings are posted from New Jersey down through the Carolinas. We will expect to see Earl’s influence Friday morning as high waves develop over the coastline and last until Saturday. It wont be until Friday night that the rain will begin to fall. Rain will be heavy at times along with gusty winds as the center of Earl passes to our southeast. Rain should conclude early Saturday afternoon before the concert on the waterfront.

Behind this storm will be a refreshing blow of cooler air for the end of the weekend.

Today: Hazy, hot and humid, air quality: code orange. Wind: SW 5-15mph. Temps: 88-95.

Tonight: Added clouds, a few shower north and west. Wind: SSW 5-15mph. Temps: 63-67.

Tomorrow: Some sun, fading to clouds, rain develops at night. Rain will fall heavy at times along with gusty winds. Expect high waves along the coast. Temps: 81-86.

Saturday: Heavy rain in the morning tapering to a few showers early in the afternoon. Temps: 71-76.

Sunday: Partly cloudy, cooler, less humid. Temps: 67-72.


Have a great day.
