Seasonable temperatures and dry weather are expected again Thursday and Friday.
Decreasing clouds with highs will be in the upper 70s, close to 80. We then rise into the low 80s Friday and Saturday.
Weekend
There is a chance of showers and thunderstorms late Saturday and Saturday night as a cold front tracks through the area dropping highs back into the 70s for the second half of the weekend.
Next week
We get a taste of fall-like temperatures early next week as we round out the month of August. Plan for sunshine, but highs will drop about ten degrees below average, in the low 70s to even upper 60s, and overnight lows will fall into the low 50s.
Tracking the tropics
As of this writing, Erin remains a category 2 hurricane as it begins to move away from the North Carolina coast and toward the north-northeast near 17 mph. A turn toward the northeast with an increase in forward speed is expected later today, followed by an acceleration toward the east-northeast Friday into the weekend.
Meanwhile, shower and thunderstorm activity has become a bit more concentrated a few hundred miles east of the Leeward Islands which now has a 70% chance of cyclone formation in the next 7 days. A tropical depression is likely to form this weekend while it moves near or north of the northern Leeward Islands.
