Discussion
Hurricane Maria continues to move slowly in a general northward direction over the western Atlantic and it will come close to the Outer Banks of North Carolina before it makes a sharp turn to the right and goes “out-to-sea” as a strong cold front approaches the Mid-Atlantic region from the middle of the country. That cold front will bring a much desired change in temperatures to the I-95 corridor by the weekend and we’ll experience highs closer to 70 degrees by Saturday compared to the recent flirtations with the 90 degree mark.
