Friday features a mix of hot sun, clouds, showers, and mainly afternoon and evening storms on the mainland.  The Keys will be mostly sunny with a stray shower in spots.  A high risk of dangerous rip currents remains at the Atlantic beaches through Saturday afternoon.  Highs on Friday will be mostly in the mid-90s in the East Coast metro area and mostly in the low-90s along the Gulf Coast and the Keys — but it will feel at least 10 degrees hotter everywhere, so stay hydrated and out of the sun.

Saturday will bring mostly sunny skies alternating with periods of showers and storms. Heavy rain is possible in spots. Look for storms to linger into the evening on the East Coast metro area.  The Keys will see a mix of sun, clouds, and some showers.  Saturday’s highs will be mostly in the mid-90s in the East Coast metro area and the low-90s along the Gulf Coast and the Keys.

Sunday will feature a mix of sun, showers, and storms on the mainland, while the Keys will see mostly sunny skies.  Sunday’s highs will be mostly in the mid-90s in the East Coast metro area and in the low 90s along the Gulf coast and in the Keys.

Monday will be another hot day of sun, showers, and storms on the mainland.  Look for a mix of sun and clouds in the Keys.  Monday’s highs will be mostly in the mid 90s in the east coast metro area and in the low-90s along the Gulf Coast and the Keys.

Hurricane Erin is moving away more quickly, but its effects are still being felt up and down the US east coast.  Rough surf and high waves from Erin have the potential for coastal flooding and beach erosion, and rip currents caused by the hurricane are potentially deadly.

On Thursday evening, Erin was located about 420 miles east-northeast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina and 365 miles north-northwest of Bermuda.  Maximum sustained winds were 100 miles per hour, and Erin was moving northeast at 20 miles per hour at that time.  A storm surge warning remains in effect from Cape Lookout to Duck, North Carolina, and a tropical storm warning remains for Bermuda.

Elsewhere in the tropics, we’re keeping an eye on 3 features.  First, the wave in the central Atlantic has a high chance of becoming a depression as it nears the Leeward Islands.  This feature is forecast to turn northward and stay far from the US coast.  The second is the wave in the eastern Atlantic that has a rapidly closing window of opportunity for development before en
