pattern has been relatively quiet until the last two hours, seen the clouds start to creep in out of the south and east. what we are watching is a developing coastal off the carolina coast. this is a system that could play havoc with the weather locally in to the weekend. especially the key timing will be midday saturday through saturday flight and even early sunday morning. especially along the beaches, you see the coastal system spinning up. rain from the cape back through charleston. that system will continue to develop here through the overnight hours in to early morning. it'll be a dry friday around here with high pressure controlling things, as that low comes up the coast we get spiraling. could impact the beach areas and maybe the entire eastern shore, areas the chesapeake east. most likely see showers through the day on friday. high pressure just west of us, we will keep it dry from baltimore westward through most of the weekend. especially into sunday. let's talk about isaac.

isaac looked strong this morning, weaker through the eastern central caribbean. now south of haiti. very warm water. a lower shear environment. just what we need to see. getting better organized here. we will see what kind of storm we have in the morning but the power house storm and the track of this will bring it over cuba as a result the storm will weaken and high mountains will probably be flooding rains. the trakas we look toward florida has been adjusted westward more and more so, most of the models pushing it west, further west. as a result it looks like perhaps it's a glancing blow for southwest florida and more of a central panhandle into mississippi and alabama storm if it redevelops in to a hurricane this is way out. this is five-days out. sort of in the land of voodoo for hurricane forecasting but we will see what happening. right now looks like the convention may be okay.
