We talked about three different storms. This is the first one of the theres another one on the way. Right now its cloudy out there. 69 degrees. Your High Temperature was 79 around lunchtime. Two hours later 68. Winds . Visited the cold front has moved through and winds have shifted and the cold front has moved through. We got what we got out of the first system. Its raining in maine. The Second System has stalled. Thats why it went from being a blue line a little triangle now its blue red blue red. Thats how i show you where the front has stalled. And this system will ride right along it getting close to our area. Then kind of actually getting pulled onshore. And giving us maybe half inch possibly an inch. Friday. A little late thursday but more so friday then its ball this system down around the thats the third punch. Thats the biggest punch. Doesnt necessarily mean its coming to our area but thats its a strong hurricane. Cat1 right now. Forecast to be a cat two then does that hard turn like 110 degree turn and shoots north. We think its going to be a major hurricane somewhere around the outer banks of North Carolina as a cat three. Could make land fall as a cat 3 or cat 2. Its going to be close. Either way sunday 2 p. M. We think landfall with winds 100 Miles Per Hour maybe stronger. Then it pushes inland. Now that goes from solid read to a little hole in the middle now its a tropical storm. Its losing strength over land. It may curve back to our area. Thats not as big a threat. I dont think it will have much of an identity if it curves. But it could be making landfall south of our area. If so it pushes the storm surge into our area. Not as heavy as if the eye was in town. Still possible coastal erosion. Aday a way from landfall at the coast of carolinas. They will probably have double digits in rainfall. It could be anywhere from the South Carolina border to virginia beach.
