It was nice to have wet grass today, and it has turned a little greener already. Some drizzle will persist through the evening. Meanwhile, it did not even get to 72 degrees at my house today!!!
Saturday-Wednesday look to be dry. Some forecasts have a rain chance for Monday night and Tuesday, but it is bad timing so I won't put the chance in for now. Highs Saturday-Monday will be in the mid 80s, with highs Tuesday-Wednesday in the upper 70s to lower 80s. Humidities will be quite comfortable as well throughout the period. The day with the most humidity will be Monday, but even that will not be too bad.
There are many questions about our forecast, including the path of Ike, after Wednesday...so for now will put a chance of isolated showers/storms in the forecast with highs in the lower 80s.
The Tropical update includes the impending landfall of Tropical Storm Hanna. It will hit as a borderline tropical storm/hurricane with winds of 70-75mph on the South Carolina/North Carolina coastline. This landfall will be overnight tonight. I don't have a track map because it will be moving so fast. It will impact the entire east coast over the next 48 hours, before cruising off the coast and heading towards Britain as a tropical storm on Wednesday. The winds could reach 50mph as it approaches Britain.
However, Hurricane Ike will be the big story from now on.
Ike has 115 mph at this time, making it a Category 3. The NHC says do not pay attention to the end of the track because they don't have much of a clue of what it will do after 72 hours. The storm is predicted to have Category 4 winds of 135mph as it possibly approaches Florida...
