His name is Earl

nws hurricane earl projected path

And with any luck, he won't be stopping by.

The National Weather Service is projecting that Hurricane Earl will skim its way along east coast, grazing North Carolina, Long Island and Cape Cod on Friday. If it sticks to that path, we shouldn't see a direct effect here (well, unless you were headed to the Cape for the weekend). Of course, things can change.

Here the paraphrased weekend forecast for our area:

Friday: Highs in the upper 80s. Some chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon.
Saturday: A lot cooler -- highs in the mid 70s. Slight chance of rain in the afternoon.
Sunday: Sunny. Cooler -- high around 70.
Labor Day: About the same, maybe a little warmer.

So, the weather looks like it could be OK.
