Labor Day weekend washout?
This afternoon's models bring Hermine right up the coast. I believe those wonderful weekend forecasts might be in big jeopardy.

Clyde Potts Thanks guys. Sorry for checking in with the bad news. I think you will have a decent Friday and at least part of Saturday. It will be coming straight up from the south as the day goes on.
No, no, no!!!
I wanted to go to the Allentown Fair on Saturday.
Bryan -- what time do you think the storm will hit on Saturday?
Maybe I should go to the fair on Friday?
Or Sunday?

ianimal It should start going downhill Saturday pm. I would not write off the entire day. Models really stall the storm so it could remain breezy and showery for days even after the heavier rains move through.
Oh crabgrass! I'm going with my Dad to his HS reunion in Central PA on Sunday. At least it's not going to be snow...perish THAT thought!
Phil D. My yard is in dire need of rain so while the timing isn't great, I look forward to it.

Bessie Will it be more than just heavy rain? Do we have to worry about it being damaging?

D-ManPV its been a great summer, but that's just a case of some bad luck. on another note, i heard Christmas music at Payless yesterday! Only 16 more weeks and 115 days of shopping left!
Latest track looks just offshore and a stall. So overall heavy rain stays east. Certainly there could still be a period. Overall breezy and showery with some major beach erosion/flooding from the winds. Definitely a concerning issue for the coast but inland locally more of a nuisance.
Down here we will be right on the border of the very heavy rain. Overall I think any serious flooding rains should stay just east of Charlotte but we are still looking at a few inches in my backyard, which we also need.
Bryan - thanks for the updates - enjoy your return even if it not a huge snow event... only a few weeks away till then :)

skippy Thanks as always guys. Nice to catch up with everyone.
If you get to Raleigh first half of day it shouldn't be terrible but rain will pick up and probably cause delays. Wouldn't think any major cancellations.
I assume you guys are keeping up with the forecasts. Seems like it's slowing down and today should be ok up there. Now it looks like Sunday things start to go downhill. For inland areas it's still unclear how much impact there will be. The coast will take a pounding no matter what. Definitely a very dangerous storm and too close of a call to take lightly I would say.
Darn it looks like our area won't get much rain out of this - it's needed so badly. Hopefully the shore won't get hit too hard.
We got some stiff wind and very light rain yesterday near Greenville. Looked like the cutoff line of heavier rain was just SE of I-85. Today is bright and sunny - not a cloud in the sky.
Mark Mc. Was down in wildwood. Great weekend. Sun was out all 3 days. Windy, but pools were open and we even took a quick dip in the ocean. Got lucky, but business was noticeably slower than most holiday weekends fo' sho'
I was hoping for some rain. Grass needs it. Been trying not to run sprinkler but may have to give in.
