Discussion
Hurricane Maria continues to move slowly in a general northward direction and it will come be increasingly influenced by strong upper-level ridging now building over southeastern Canada and the Northeast US. This influence by the high will allow Maria to come quite close to the Outer Banks of North Carolina, but then an advancing cold front will push it out-to-sea once and for all. We’ll continue with dry and very warm weather around here over the next few days, but significantly cooler weather will arrive at the end of the week.
