Forecast Discussion
Hurricane Earl has delivered a glancing blow to the NC coast overnight and early this morning, and was headed northward off the Mid-Atlantic coast. A weakening Earl will brush by southern New England on its way to Nova Scotia.
Closer to home, a cold front will be passing through the area this evening. It will generate a few more clouds, although any shower activity should remain confined to mountain areas to our west. Thereafter, a refreshing Canadian air mass will envelope the area for the weekend. Temperatures will be noticeably cooler, with nighttime 50s around the Unifour and Yadkin Valley Sunday and Labor Day mornings.
There's no rain in sight. Next week features more sunny weather with a moderating trend.
Elsewhere in the tropics, Tropical Storm Fiona is heading toward Bermuda and will exit to the northeast before dissipating. Meanwhile, Tropical Depression Gaston has degenerated into a an open wave as it has encountered unfavorable environmental conditions. It could regenerate down the road.
